Finally I find someone with the same problem!
I bought the ePub version from Booksonboard
Huge margins on both my Sony 505 and 600, and on small textsize the text is almost illegible, and on Medium only a few words per line. I had to strip DRM and edit the stylesheet to remove the wide margins to be able to read it.

But I was wondering if it might be a problem with Sony's implementation of ePub.
And kennyc's statement leads me to believe that it may be the case:
