I use a font size of 10 point. I get 27 lines per page that way. Now if I have headers and footers, I lose two lines per page. So for every 13 or 14 pages, I add one page. So take a 400 page eBook and I'll be adding 28 or 29 pages to the eBook.

i also refuse to read an ebook without proper margins.

What do you consider to be proper margins? Again, this is subjective. I prefer no margins as it gives me more text per page. Have you seen any of the eBooks I've uploaded in LRF that have no margins? I've never had anyone ask for margins to any of the eBook I've posted to MR. What is it that margins do for you?
