I just wish that they (with they I ment ebook makers) take out all hardcoded margins,and let the device do this,all devices are capable of doing this perfect itself,but with every new book I buy, I still have to edit it because they want to give the epub exactly the same look as the book, with the footer patch we try to enable as much as possible space for txt but with a margin left and richt,upper and lower of 10 px it is like you are looking trough a window.

Dear GeoffR,may I ask again a question:
I have enabled the `Fix page breaks bug` patch, but in my Calibre settings for conversion there is still (in extra options .css) a rule with the following line: body {line-height: 1.2; widows: 1; orphans: 1;} because someone recommended it once in the past at conversion.
Can I remove this line when the `Fix page breaks bug` patch is enabled ??
