So the text runs all the way up to the margins and even slightly beyond that. As you can see, it doesn't help if I specify wider margins on the Aura.


Is this particular Gutenberg epub badly formatted?
I downloaded the ebook from the Gutenberg link you supplied, copied it to my KA1 as an epub and the margins slider is working for me. See attached screenshots.

Overall, I don't like the formatting and the css stylesheets are downright strange. One uses the body tag to set all margins at 5% while another uses the body tag to set them to 0.5em.

0.css
Code:
body {
    margin: 5%;
    background: #faebd0;
    text-align: justify
    }
pgepub.css:
Code:
body, body.tei.tei-text {
    color: black;
    background-color: white;
    margin: 0.5em;
    width: auto;
    border: 0;
    padding: 0
    }
Other chunks of the css stylesheets are similary schizoid.
