Kobo readers have options to change some things. I want those things to be so the options work. That means no margins (also good for Kindles), no line height, no embedded fonts (unless there's a really good reason), and to leave the base font size at the default. We can change all of that to what we want. IT's not that I'm looking for a boring book. I'm looking for book's that can be customized as the user wants. You want larger L/R margins or a wider line height, you can have it. But when say L/R margins and a line height are put in, the only choices are to go bigger or leave it be. If they are not what we wat, then we have no choice.

I know we can go into the code and adjust, but we shouldn't have to. We should be able to use the settings as suits us. I'm not asking for a boringly formatted eBook. I'm asking for formatting that allows us to use the settings as we see fit.
