Someone (can't remember username) posted that reading on a 6 inch ereader in landscape mode with wider margins resulted in faster reading and was more comfortable.

I thought that that was silly but tried it anyway. It did seem more comfortable line length wise and I did seem to read faster. Unfortunately the page turn buttons were not in a great place for me when held sideways.

I do find even a small margin is better than with the text lined up close to the bezel. Perhaps ones eyes figuratively bump against the bezel at every line providing a minute distraction not found in paper books or when reading online.
