I am thinking the kobo itself is adding it and there is nothing I can do about it. Since everything is takin out, the page numbers that show up on the right side of the page are being placed in to the text on the page.

Is there a way to set this up right in calibre so I can get rid of these margins?

edit: When I look at the book in calibre the only thing on the margins is 5pt on the left and right. While on the device there is at least a half an inch on the left, top, and right and around a full inch or more on the bottom.
You must be missing a step somewhere, or the EPUB format on that book is bad - I do the same to clean up margins and it works every time.
