That's what I did with my epubs, add a margin. Too bad it won't apply that margin on the top and bottom...

I like to see how far I am at all times and I genrally use the left buttons for navigation and my thumb isn't large enough to reach the menu button...

My PDA and JE100 (both LCD) have a black background with a dark gray letter. And the backlight turned all the way down. The PDA has a lighter dark than my JE100, but both are perfectly readable in a dark bedroom. If I would use a whitish background with dark letters, I'd be blinded...

Cheers!
I heard about those FB2 formatted books, but those aren't text based. So, I can't just take my source and create a FB2 book (the same as I created my epub and mobipocket books). I'd need a third party tool for conversion.
