If Best Buy sold the Kobo I'd give it a try, but that's likely the only way.



Agreed, the last choice is laughable. Surely no one ever uses it, the margins are so wide it's ridiculous.
I think that width is supposed to replicate reading a newspaper column experience? People who speed read would possibly use that quite often as I once read that the thing that slow most people down as they read is the time it takes for them to roll their eyeballs from left to right. Speed readers read down a page instead of the zigzag movements more commonly used by the average person (like me) so I guess the widest margin setting is for the super keen speed readers.
