I recently bought Unseen Academicals from BooksOnBoard and was really disappointed that the formatting leaves such a huge amount of blank space on each page. The smallest font is also really tiny and the medium is slightly too large with all of the blank space as it doesn't fit a lot of text on screen so you have to turn the page more often. Mine was an ePub version rather than the pdf one. I am really loath to buy another one from there as I find it detracts from the pleasure of reading it somewhat. Some of the free books that came with the reader display the text right up to the edges of the screen so why can't they all behave like that? I know that I could strip the DRM and convert it in Calibre but really why should I have to do that to something I paid through the nose for anyway? If eBooks are to really take off they need to sort things like this out fast I think. This particular book also takes an age to turn the pages (four or five seconds sometimes) but only on certain chapters as some of them then revert back to the normal delay. I think I might have solved that by doing a hard reboot though.
Here is a pic of how mine is displaying.
