Should I specify that in ems? I'm sure that's better than using fixed dimensions e.g. inches. But can you specify a margin as a percent of the page or something?

I can only play with my results on my tiny phone and calibre's reader - otherwise I wouldn't ask and just play around with it.

Thanks.

By the way, I see in one of your books you use "vertical-align: text-top". What does vertical-align do?
That applies to cell contents in tables
