Ok, visual purposes, but that's a question of personal preference. As for annotations, I don't see how margins could be of use on an ebook reader that doesn't let you make annotations.

Maybe if you have the right book, like a bible that stays open on a pupit. Most paperbacks require you to hold it open, otherwise it will close itself. You can't just hold the book cover. Your fingers must grasp the margins.
