Of course most uploads to Amazon are for ebooks, but to submit for printed books to Amazon it is best to upload PDFs. I have in the past asked about altering calibre's method of doing a printer's offset but, apparently, there is something extremely difficult in restructuring its margin capabilities for Amazon's proprietary requirements.
If there are images or charts or whatnot the bottom line will be a tad off. Also, if you set an extra bit of space between paragraphs the bottoms will be off.

I looked into PDFJAM, but I'm on Windows.
I was able to get around the left/right margin issue by converting the epub twice in Calibre, one with margins set for pages on the left and the other for the right. I then used an online tool to combine the two alternating left and right pages.
