For KePubs in full-screen mode that problem is caused by the presence of margin or padding on the body element. (It can also be caused by the publisher doing something really stupid like using a negative right margin on paragraphs, that is rare but I've seen it in some Smashwords books.)

All the `Fix three KePub fullScreenReading bugs` patch does is set the margin and padding to zero in the device's built-in stylesheet when full-screen mode is used, so if the patch fixes that problem then you should be able to fix it without the patch by setting the margin and padding to zero in the book's stylesheet.

With regard to patching: it's a bit confusing.

The two patches I am interested in are the KEPUB full screen fix patch, and the Font Freedom patch, but I haven't been able to figure out yet where to get the correct version of the firmware and the patch. I understand how to install it, but I can't find the files and be sure they're the right versions.

If I would like to undo the patch (assuming the reader boots), would I be able to just flash the default firmware? If the reader does not boot, what would I do to get it working again?
Best to ask for help with this in the patching thread for your firmware version in the developer's forum. But I'd suggest not to rush into patching if you can solve the problem without it, because patches need to be re-done every time there is a firmware update, while if you can solve it by using Calibre to modify the book as it is sent to the device then you have a solution that will continue to work in the future without any extra effort.
