Not being sure if my free for Kobe or Kindle books are freedomain or just free to me, I downloaded one from our library here. It is called The Golden Slipper by Anna Katherine Green. The margin sliders work perfectly if I drag and drop through Windows 7. If I put in Calibre and change the margin to "no margin" I have just that, no margins or margin slide. I'll be glad to upload back up using a different name or send to you if that is allowed.
Thanks for you help with this ... frustrating, because it's my first glitch Kobo and not real techie...

I've just downloaded and tried The Golden Slipper. It appears the calibre reconvert epub-to-epub doesn't help (I'll correct my previous post). However, the
Modify Epub plugin does work very well. So this is the way forward.
Have you ever installed any of calibre's optional plugins, previously? If you don't understand the question - the answer is probably 'No'
In which case I'll try to write a step-by-step on what you need to do. It's very quick & easy to do, no tech knowledge required. As usual,
reading the step-by-step will take longer than actually
doing the steps.
@ JohnF,
Whilst your suggestion should work, it's a bit extreme (IMHO) to cure the left/right margin slider problem, as it will obliterate all margins inside the epub which could ruin the styling of many epubs.
