That is the most harebrained thing I have ever seen.

Is there a setting to have it fill the entire screen with text?
Also was not too happy that there was no light to indicate charging when it was first charging up when the power was off. I had to leave it on the whole time just to be able to tell it was charging.

EDIT: I did find a way to change the margins, and that improved things. Also I think the book I was looking at had a weird formatting built into it. I looked at another book and it wasn't so bad. So things are not as dire as they seemed, I overreacted a bit.

Thanks

I have noticed this too, particularly with new books, the formatting is done in such a way that it looks like it should fit nicely on a six inch reader... though to be honest I kind of liked the feel of the extra margins!!!

Most of the faults of the ka1 lie in the software which I imagine will be updated with software updates... in about six months time, if we're lucky!
