Hello, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I searched as best I could, but couldn't find a similar issue.

I just bought (and love!) my new 505. I've loaded a few books onto it no problem, even successfully checked out an ebook loan from my library and that is working and displaying perfectly in the reader.

I also purchased Nothing's Sacred by Lewis Black from Kobo in ePub format. While the full text displays in the 505, it is in a narrow column, almost like a newspaper column. There are large margins on either side. If I zoom the text, the margins stay the same, I just see less, but larger, text on the screen.

Is this a problem? Is there some setting I can change to adjust this? Or is this just the way some ebooks are?

It's all still very new to me.

Cheers.
