And people used to doing layouts for print forget that ebooks don't need such large margins; there's no reason to leave room for fingers on the actual pages. (However, some people prefer margins.)
I forgot to ask in my earlier reply: How do I resolve this small ambiguity in your suggestion? Margins or no margins? If I add a margin, how small should it be to satisfy both camps? Thanks for telling me that the page size of a six-inch screen is 3.5x4.5. That's something I didn't know, again because I don't own one, so it makes it nearly impossible for me to know how much (or little) margin to include and still make it comfortable to read on an e-reader.
