Hello @DNSB
Thanks for the pointers.
So...
-no @page entry. The 5pt border is not needed top and bottom by the sounds of it.
-Same with the body changes- don't need those margins which I thought you did, but I guess the ereader overrides them and sets its own anyway.
-Justify: you then optionally set that in the ereader rather than forcing it in the epub code.
-Widows and orphans, does that prevent a new page with 1 line on it which I have seen sometimes? I did read about Widows and Orphans in my early learning days, but it stated it was for printing, so did not think it applied here. I obviously misunderstood.
I then made the change
preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" , then saved and viewed in the Calibre e-book reader, but no change to the margins. Then I discovered there was a default 20px margin set in settings. I removed those and the image expanded to the edges (and so did the text pages). I checked on iBooks and it also seems to have expanded to full, though a bit more difficult to tell due to the smaller screen.
That is great. Thank you very much for the pointers. And I am open to any other pointers if you came across any in the way I rebuilt the novel.
