There is going to be an issue on Kindles as they have wide left/right margins. On the Kobo, I have a rather narrow margin as you can see. And given that the table just fits, it may not fit on a Kindle screen.

For the table you asked me to look at in PM, make the headers muliti-line by adding a hyphen and then make those columns smaller. Do that for every table you can and you'll have a better chance of the table fitting with a larger font size.

One other thing, my Kobo is an H2O and that uses a 6.8" screen.
