I was under the impression that tankōbon was 12.8 cm × 18.2 cm with a 22.2 cm (8.75") diagonal. The Sage is a 3:4 aspect with a 20.32 cm diagonal while tankōbon is 3:4.27 meaning that using the 1920 vertical pixels of the Sage would result in using only 1348 of the 1440 horizontal pixels. That would leave 46 pixels or leaving a ~0.4 cm margin on each vertical side. This is assuming that we are using Japanese B6 for the tankōbon, I've also seen ISO A5 paper used which is slightly larger ( 14.8 cm × 21.0 cm ) with a 25.6 cm diagonal (3:4.26 aspect ratio) which gives pretty much the same result on a Sage screen.
This quick and dirty number juggling did not allow for trimming the margins to increase the size of the images. My daughter's manga ebooks do not seem to do so.
