You may be able to change top and bottom margins using calibre... set custom ouput then do a convert and save of your books using new settings...

I tried this using Calibre. Just changed the top margin from 5.0 pt to 40.0 pt as suggested above and it now excludes the dead stripey area on the screen. So basically it will be fully usable again with the exception of a centimeter of lost screen real estate. But at least it won't miss anything on the pages.
Thank you for the tip. It saved this 505 and will hopefully get it through another few books before retirement.
