Not really, there are patches which decrease or remove those margins. No need to install other app. BTW, outrageously... from your POV, perhaps we should ask the OP, as I prefer those margins

Personal POV. We should ask the OP if he/she wants to tinker with the device. And installing app in an ereader like this is tinkering more than a phone (I haven't had a Tolino but I have two Kobos and I've owned two android ereaders).
My two cents: Screen is not the only point. Do you like to tinker wit the device? If you don't, Tolino is similar to Kobo en other devices. And from 212 to 300, sincerely, unless you have a lot of pictures, in a 6" device you hardly note it.
