Header: The minimum I could achieve was 3.5mm for both epub/kepub if I set Show Title to OFF in Reading settings. I'm not sure that any of the current patches can reduce this. See here for my notes.

Footer: By default, with Reading settings Show Footer OFF, minimum footer is 4mm for epub/kepub. This can be reduced to 1.5mm by enabling the standard patch 'Disable reading footer' and setting Show Footer to ON. Thanks to MGlitch for that discovery.

Left/Right margins: Minimum is still zero for epub and for kepub (if standard patch 'Custom kepub default margins' is enabled)


By default the Margin slider only changes left/right margins, in both epub/kepub.

If your standard patch 'ePub fixed/adjustable top/bottom margins' is enabled then all 4 margins are adjusted in epub. However, as it stands, the top/bottom margins are bigger than the left/right margins. I suspect these adjustable top/bottom values are being added to the existing minimum top/bottom values. As I don't normally use this particular patch I don't know whether tweaking the patch can equalise them better. If you want a specific test doing, feel free to ask.
Any chance you could do a screen capture with "show footer false" and no patches enabled (and not the first page of a chapter)?
