I was thinking this could be the key. I am testing with mobi books. I expected the margins to be independent of the book format, but I was starting to ask myself is this could be the case. Your question seems to confirm that this could be the problem. I will try with azw3.
However, I would like to have the margins working for all the formats (well, at least azw3 + mobi; I rarely use other formats). What would be the file to edit for mobis? I remember to have read something about a file called "mobi-drawing" that was used to modify font sizes in mobis; maybe the same file for mobi margins? I'll have to check...
EDIT: Checked. I don't see anything related to margins in mobi-drawing-es.jar nor mobireader-impl-es.jar.

Get some experience using RP now, before you need it.
Trying to learn how to use it when you need it is almost too late.
And you had better add-in the CRP option and get used to that also before you need it.
Unless, of course, you really want a reason to install the serial port on your Kindle, because you are heading in that direction.

Ups, your last sentence is a little hard... but maybe you are right.
Well, in fact I haven't tried RP, because I have read the instructions and it seems to be quite easy to use. But I will follow your advice: better losing five minutes now than losing my kindle forever...

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean here.
Do you mean I could test the changes out of the kindle?
Or are you just talking about using the RP to restore the original file to the device in case that something goes wrong? (that is clear for me, but I don't understand your comment about using the network to boot the OS, and what the network server is...)
Could you please clarify? I am not an expert at all (as you surely already noticed), just someone used to tweak computer systems but at user level.
Thanks for your help!
