However, I'm still at a loss as to what you are seeing? Looks to me like you could maybe fit another word per line if the margins were made slightly smaller! Fair enough you might prefer a narrower margin, but its certainly far from being a large wasted space that "waste as much if not more space than top and bottom margins on a Kobo device", no?
Incidentally, Canuck_in_Japan's picture does show that there can be improvements to the wasted space at the top of the Kobo, I prefer not to have to make any changes to books or the ereader itself to get the required customisation - which was what drew me to considering the Aura over the PW in the first place, customisation out of the box is far better with the Aura.... it's just other issues that are edging me to the PW.

By changing the side margins to approximate the margins in the post linked to above, my chapter page count went from 21 pages to 25 pages. I'm actually surprised that it increased by that much.
For me, it's not so much the number of words per page but how it looks. Can't really explain why I like the top and bottom margins (and don't consider them wasted space) but don't like the side margins, although to be honest, If I had no choice I would get accustomed to it and it probably wouldn't bother me.
I will admit to a bit of hyperbole in my original post (The embarassed faced icon was supposed to go here and I couldn't figure out how to move it. Arghh. too early in the morning for me.)
