hm, you mean you just want extra-large margins on the first screen of text ? this would be easy to accomplish in html / epub except for one thing : i am not sure how to apply dynamically the effect only to the first screen of text, since the quantity of text could change depending on font-size, screen-size, etc. however if you wanted to make a static simulation you could just apply this to the first paragraph or two, and then add a forced page-break. this is not ideal since it could spill into 2 screens depending on other factors, but i can't immediately think of a different way to do it.
on the other hand, when you mention mobipocket, you say no side margins, is it true you can't define any side margins in a mobipocket book ? that seems odd, to say the least (although not actually surprising, given what little i know of the format). does that mean you can't use padding either ? if you can use padding, you could add padding of say 25% to each side.
perhaps someone else will have a better idea.
