I have a Libra 2 on which I usually read using KOReader. I appreciate the extra customisation that this brings in terms of page layout. I am wondering if I can get a similar scheme set up in the stock reader. I have downloaded and installed (I think) kobopatch, but have noticed no difference in behaviour.

Things that I'd like more control over are:

- reducing the top and bottom margins
- widow / orphan control

Essentially what I'm after is for each page of the ebook to take up all of the available space on the screen.

Update: Some books are worse offenders re margins than others. My CSS-fu is not up to figuring out why this is, but am open to suggestions.
