Although I can do this, it would then either interfere with my text editor (easier and more powerful single-file search and replace than Sigil) and picture editor on that monitor, or Calibre on the other. Sigil is on the center monitor.

And, to make it big enough to show a reasonable preview of a 10" reader, it would fill 30% of the 1920x1200 screen.

But, again, since the Sigil doesn't support a user stylesheet, and I keep all my HTML and CSS portable and easily cascadeable without use of "!important", the preview isn't close enough to what it will look like on my device to be worth using. Without being able to change the margins, line and paragraph spacing, and other settings to match the defaults on the reader, the preview looks so little like the end result that it's only useful to see major screw ups, like a span close in the wrong place.
