Actually Balok's post has some merit. I thought about it and I quickly realized that for me that there are not that many ways to hold a book comfortably without my fingers or thumbs being somewhere on the page. If there were no margins the text would be covered by my aforementioned fingers or thumbs. There is no real need for margins in a Electronic Reader since they are already built in by the case. I find the margins in books from the Sony eBook store to be excessive. The less words on the page means more page turns and consequently more battery usage.
