That's interesting. I don't use Word Wise, just trying to help the OP. But I wonder if this would work:
  • Purchase a Kindle ebook that has Word Wise, and download in AZW3 format
  • Use KindleUnpack or Sigil's KindleImport plugin to get an epub
  • Edit css with negative margins
  • Run through Kindlegen using Kindlegen plugin for Sigil, which allows you to add the proper ASIN. (I suggest Sigil rather than Calibre in order to use Amazon's Kindlegen.)
  • Sideload onto Kindle via USB with WiFi on. I know this will cause Kindle to download the proper cover. I wonder if it will activate Word Wise.

If I have time, I'll experiment. In the meantime, if anyone decides to try this, I'd be interested in the result.
