Or are your left/right margins even, but you want to make them uneven?

You are probably better to set the left/right margins using the Modify ePub plugin in Calibre. I don't really know how the `Margins fine tuning` patch works, it seems to only cause problems.
I have a lot of books that have the margin set to right=0 and to edit them all or (re) convert them is a hell of a job because i don't know exactly which ones having it and which one doesn't.
Also with Calibre convert them a second time will overwrite the original_epub created by the first conversion (I always insert the amasis30 font because I like it and set it as a default font,justification off,align to left at first conversion) so that will cause the original one to disappear.

I just hate those epub builders that really use this settings,if you read the book under an angle the txt is almost under the bezel.
Others use the   5 times at every line that has to justify in stead of using a tag for it so the margins slider doesn't work and the align left doesn't work.
That means open the epub and delete all of them.
But if the patch introduces new problems,it is still better to use Calibre,thanks !
