Can you confirm what "works every time" means exactly? I've got the same problem as the OP - setting margins to "0" results in visible margins on the device itself, with the page number on the right overlapped. Here's a photo of what I'm talking about - are you able to get smaller margins than this?



By comparison, a PDF with zero margins at the top results in text that actually goes all the way to the top of the screen, so I know that the screen is capable of displaying smaller margins. I think the huge margin on the bottom is a result of the "book name - # of ##" display that is always shown, with no method of disabling. I've added my support to the request to hide this info on Kobo's zendesk page (here), if that feedback ever gets taken into account.
