But from your photo the problem is in the centre of the screen, so you would have to add a very large margin and would only have the use of about half the screen for reading. That might cause some problems with displaying images because the usable area of screen would be wider than it is tall.
Edit: If you are sideloading ePubs with Calibre, i.e. they are DRM-free, then you can add a margin by modifying the book's stylesheet instead of patching the firmware. This is something that can be set up to be done automatically for books sent to that specific device, without affecting books sent to another device. You might want to try it this way before patching to see what it will be like.
Does that sounds like something that would be useful?

I had been thinking about modifying stylesheet. I did try it but the result wasnt good. Right now I'm reading with large line spacing. My margins, font size and font are choosen to get the broken area into the line spacing. In both cases there isn't much text on the screen.
