It's actually pretty tricky to do with calibre because it just doesn't insert the CSS but processes it. The reliable way is to dig into the book's CSS and HTML to figure out what you need to change. Putting *{ margin-left:....; margin-right:....} at start of CSS file may do the trick in most cases.
It's a PITA. Amazon should just let you set margin in reader.pref like on the kindle keyboard.
What I don't get is: I bet virtually no one uses the largest margin option, which leaves half the screen blank. After all, you can't write in the margin, or rest your thumb there because it's a touch screen. So why is that an option. I bet few people even use the second largest margin. Otoh, I bet a quite few people would use a smaller margin to squeeze maximum amount of text onto the screen were it available . But nope, can't have that.
The reason you need a margin on an ebook at all is because the bevel is not flush with screen and is a different color. If you can blend the bevel and screen together, you wouldn't need any virtual margin at all.
