Yep, it is ugly. But I never use it so no big deal to me. I agree that it is stupid the way iBooks and Kindles/Kindle apps all have large margins. What a waste, especially on smartphone screens. I often wonder if the programmers of these reading apps even read on them. I think if they did then the apps would look a bit more like Marvin! The worst reading app I've seen lately is Kindle for Android. It only has one font, so you cannot even choose a different font. And of course, the extra wide margins. We need more literate programmers for reading app design!
