Thanks for clearing this out, I believed, when you do a conversion the original epub is renamed to original_epub.
Then,when you do a second conversion,the first conversed file would be renamed to original_epub, overwriting that one so you lost your original copy.
That is why I always,when doing a second conversion, I rename the original_epub file back to the epub and combine the conversion I already did, and the new one, into one task on the original file.
It is good to know that the original_epub always stay the same, thanks for clearing that out. !

Why don't you just adjust the margins in the font settings on the The first setting should be enough prevent the bezel shadow appearing on the text.

You can also put a file called "kobo_extra.css" in the root directory of the device and set the appropriate option in the device driver. This is added to the stylesheets in the epub when the book is sent to the device. You can use this to override the styles in books.
Sorry for asking and it will be a bit offtopic, but can you post some small example about how to change margins in the font settings like u suggested ?

I googled on the the kobo_extra.css file but as far as I understand this will only in place when sending the book to the device.
It will not change the books already on the device,and a patch would.
But the idea is interesting so I will Google some more about options for this .css for future sending.
Thank you
