I'm willing to do this and in case it doesn't work I don't mind changing epubs so that the top margin allows me to read them on the ebook.

Thanks
As for backup, you can simply make a copy of the user partition (this is what you see when you connect via usb to the pc). As for the other partitions (which you cannot see) it is highly unlikely that you mess something so up that resetting the device cannot help you.

As for the larger top margin in epubs, you can try it without any danger. Have a look at Instructions for patching firmware 3.19.5761. Read the instructions in order to get a general understanding of how it works. Then open libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch. You are interested in `ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins`. Find it and enable it (patch_enable = `yes`). Then find the line
Code:
#replace_string = B8A1A4, `%\01`, `2\05`
uncomment the line (by removing the #) and choose a greater value. I tried for instance
Code:
replace_string = B8A1A4, `%\01`, `4\05`
This gives a pretty large top margin, but maybe it is still to small for you. Maybe you start experimenting with `6\05`.
