I feel like I might have asked about this before, but is there any way to make sure no part of Calbre works in inches? I’m trying to print a section of a book to PDF using the viewer and the margin options are in inches.

I’m not using conversion because there are so many options it would take a lot of testing. Conversion also uses points, which also aren’t very helpful if you’re just trying to gauge the proportion of a page or minimum margins of a printer (in mm).

I realise this is a bit peripheral for most Calibre use, but it’s still a bit surprising to see the wrong units for your locale.
