Thanks Nick, the top margin in that screenshot is 15px, same pixel size as the Glo, but only 1.4% of screen width compared to 2% on the Glo.

I am testing a new patch that adds an extra 2% to the left/right margins when reading ePubs in normal reading mode, but not in full-screen mode. On the Glo this works out neatly because the built-in top margin is 2% in normal mode and zero in full-screen mode, so when the adjustable top/bottom margins are enabled everything will stay in proportion in both modes.

But I can only adjust the margin in 1% multiples if the screen width, so it looks like it won't work out so neatly on all devices.
