Edit: On second thought, div {line-height: 1.0} might have an effect, as the kepub reader only overrides line-height for body, p, but I think it is just as likely to be a bad effect as a good one.
As a matter of fact, the @page made a huge difference on my epub converted to kepub: I can see all lines, and have the 5pt I want on the bottom instead of the last but one line squashed against the page number, which made it unreadable. But perhaps it is because I added it in the style sheet of the epub.

What I would like is for it to work when I use the convert button in Calibre and that is what I wanted advice on. Thanks to all for the advice. I'll try cybmole's with my margin settings.

@cybmole: why do you eliminate adobe hyphenation?
