Second, you obviously have different views, but I doubt your views are any more important or correct than those of anyone else.
That everyone has different views is a platitude. Mine, at least, have the virtue of reflecting widely-accepted industry standards for iPhone reading apps by professional UI designers.

As far as margins go, check out Bluefire. It allows control of margins and line spacing, neither of which are controllable via Kindle on an iPhone. Both should be controllable because the default settings of both or totally too big. It is a big waste of space on a small screen, so there should be an option to set them as you desire and we should not have the settings forced on us as they no are.
I would be genuinely curious to see an example of what you consider to be an ideal iPhone reading environment.

You are perhaps right that readers should be given the option to change settings to suit themselves. I just find it difficult to get worked up over the absence of this feature when the current reading experience is pretty close to ideal, especially compared to alternatives like iBooks. Hyperbole about "awful," "unreadable" text just makes me chuckle.
