There's a very good reason for having the option of wide margins. Has it never occurred to you to wonder why it is that newspapers, encyclopaedias, etc, are printed in narrow columns? It's because you can read a narrow column of text without having to scan your eyes across it, and that improves reading comprehension (you don't lose your place in the text so easily). Many readers prefer wide margins and narrow text for that reason.
But with an H2O, you can have the margins as you want. Be it none or a lot. It's your choice. On a Kindle, the smallest margins are fixed. You have no choice. With an H2O, you can also have the line height as you like as well. But it's up to the OP as to what's best.

For me, I don't care for such rigid settings.
