I have a PRS650 rather than 350 but I don't have any problems at all getting small left/right margins from Calibre conversions. A couple of things to check:
  • The Left and Right margin settings in Convert - PageSetup. These are in addition to any margins set in Look&Feel - ExtraCSS.
  • In commercial ePubs there is often a page-template.xpgt file which can have large left, right margins. Even so, the recent versions of Calibre get rid of these during an epub-epub conversion.
I know "acceptable" font-size is very personal, but I also use Charis as my preferred font. I've always done Calibre epub conversions with base font size set to 11pt and I read them on the medium setting on the PRS650.
