Most likely, although some ereaders have an option to cut the margins and expand the text to the edges of the reader... something that a device with 7" of space needs in my opinion.
Although when i suggested this as a firmware update possibility, i was told that i should edit things in Sigil, convert and pimp in Calibre and then put on the device... all requiring a DRM strip.
So you have the kobo software and or/ade to download the file, DRM strip, another program to edit, another program to clean up and transfer. All for the sake of using the devices real estate.
So the solution is either to lobby the publishers to do things right (i'll bet they'll listen), have a margin cut feature in the kobo firmware (i would've thought this was viable) or waste shedloads of time editing and hacking your books.
So yeah, in short, publishers to blame but the device is capable of a workaround.
