From my point of view, this quote by itself states a decisive reason to avoid Kobo's inbuilt reader. I most definitely want the ability to switch off the inbuilt CSS and set my own styles, select between indented versus block paragraphs etc. I want this because a very common file format in my ebook collection is HTML - I save a lengthy talky webpage, load it onto the ereader and then read it. Often enough, some tinkering is needed for comfortable reading. The tinkering, to keep it simple, involves stripping all CSS written into the page and cleaning the HTML markup so that headings and titles are defined as headings and titles, paragraphs and blockquotes as paragraphs and blockquotes, etc, so that when I apply my own styles in the reading app in the ereader, everything makes visually perfect sense as it should. If the reading app cannot apply my preferred CSS, it's not a reading app worth the name. Same with epubs - some are beautifully formatted with the internal CSS and markup, let these be as they are, but others are atrocious and it's an instant improvement to switch their internal styles off.

If you are set to remove DRM, you can easily use the Calibre editor to remove the extra CSS classes and then find the ones you need to change to set the left/right margin to 0. Then you can use the margin slider to set the margin as you want. Very easy.
