Weirdness. I converted the same EPUB, using the same plugin, and the did a Save to Disk. Maybe something went wrong there, because KEPUB is not an "official" Calibre format. Calibre can do stuff like updating metadata on some types of files; maybe it has corrupted the KEPUB.

Good

3) Amasis font (can't tell you the point size, just a slider set to just above halfway).
4) The margin slider is set to just above halfway -- setting it to minimum has the text go nearly edge-to-edge.
Here are two additional pics: the first with the kepub opened and showing the basic font/margin controls as they were in the original photo, the second with the margin slid all the way left (I prefer the former):

Thanks
If that size is the one above halfway, then it can go really tiny I guess.
Yes, while the picture shows that it's indeed possible to squash more text onto the screen, the page will get a very wide, "squashed" look. I prefer the one in your picture too.
Was that setting of 67 characters and wide margins a concious choice? It's the standard of the LaTeX typesetter. I reall LOVE the default LaTeX output, and your settings remind me of it. I wouldn't even be surprised if you told me that you use LaTeX a lot for work or a technical university course
That KEPUB layout really looks like a page set into a wooden frame, and I like it so much that I'm temped to just order the Aura HD so I can see what it does and can't do for myself, maybe even foregoing nice stuff such as Time To Read to be able to read books in that layout
PS: If the font size was bigger and lines would become shorter than 67 characters, I'd reduce the margins a bit.
