Version 3.9 is buggy and two requests for new features

I upgraded to v3.9 the other day, had several new problems, and had to downgrade back to v3.8. I remember one of the problems was bleeding of text in some of the documents that were on top of other text. I could tell the software was not stable almost right away.

There are some features I would love to see in Calibre:

1) Add a setting in the conversion process where I can set the default settings for the left and right margins. I much prefer 35px over 5pt, so I've been editing many epub files to change those settings. It's a long, tedious process, when it could be so much easier if I could change that one setting and convert the files. Many publishers are using this setting now, and it's much easier to read a book when the text is not spread all the way to both sides of the e-reader.

2) When merging many epub files with different sub-folders and levels, the search function for "All style files" doesn't work. It only works at the folder level for the current file that is open, so I have to open a file from each book and manually open that book's stylesheet and manually edit the appropriate body or calibre rule to change the left and right margins. I would love to see the search function search (and replace) ALL style files that are in the various subfolder levels.

Thank you for a great program!
