Sorry, I can't. All of my books are copyrighted. If I attach one of them here, I'll probably get banned for uploading copyrighted material. The few that are not copyrighted don't have any problems, because I created them myself from Gutenberg texts, and the code is thus hand-made and (almost... ) perfect.

edit: It looks like the problem is fixed. It also seems that, if the padding gets below a certain value, nothing changes. I have created a file "kobo_extra.css" in the root of the KA1, with Unix/Linux endings, and added the following:

Quote:
body { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; }
div#book-columns div { padding-left: 0 !important; padding-right: 0 !important; }
The margins around the text, when set at the lowest settings (with the books I've tested up until now) are comparable to the ones on my Kindle Paperwhite. The margins are maybe one character at each side or so. With these settings, and at least these books, it's not possible to extend the text all the way to the edges.

I don't mind about that, because I don't want text right up to the edge, so the margins are fine with me. Even if you lose a character left and right, and about half a line on the top and bottom, the loss is MUCH less than with the standard view that displays headers and footers.

If this fixes the full screen view for all of my books like this, I'm very happy, and the KA1 will be a *HUGE* upgrade to my KPW1. (With the default view, it would have been a large upgrade only.... )

To make sure, I'll test without kobo_extra.css, and also test what will happen if I first convert using the output plugin and then send the books to the device. One moment...

edit: weird. The KA1 seems to be caching some things. At first, when I was lowering the padding and removing/re-uploading the books, nothing seemed to change. Even at 0, nothing changed; the problem stayed fixed, with the same margin widths. Then I started opening/switching books, and suddenly the problem rose again.

edit 2: nothing works anymore. 1em, 0, 0.2em... nothing makes a difference. On some books, the margin slider actually doesn't work anymore. I'm going to try with 2% again, and see if that helps.
