Wide margins also make reading words at the edges very comfortable.
I agree with you in regard of the margins.

In the beginning, when I just had received my Pocketbook 902, I avoided novels (= epub files) like the plague. I had the impression that the developers had not read one single book themselves on their devices. I prefer the Adobe Reader for epub files but with the text going exactly from the beginning to the end of the screen it was impossible to read any novel on this device.

My solution then was to set the margins to my liking in the css file directly and like you I prefer big margins. Now it is a real joy to read novels on the Pocketbook.
