My question would be: how am I able to convert my ePub into an ePub with smaller margins using Calibre? Basically, I have an ePub book on my MacBook and I'm hoping to make the margins smaller and send it to my iPad iBooks.
Thank you!
Use the Calibre eBook editor to edit the eBook. Edit the CSS and remove any @page and change the left/right margins for body, p, and the classes used for p for indented and non-indented paragraphs.

I know this is not the easiest thing to do right away as a novice, but it really helps to learn HTML/CSS and once you do, you will be able to do more modification to the ePub. It's a lot better then going ePub > ePub.
