Ok, so I just downloaded and installed "Tale of two cities" by HarryT and in normal mode there's a margin at the top of about ".75" of a line of text... So in my average room with light above me, and book at about 20 degrees, the shadow crops the tops of t's and l's... but "vowels" and so on look fine. I.e., "vowel" is fine except for the top of the l.

In "no margin" mode, the first whole line is in shadow... so it's much better.

By way of comparison... The Black Ice an old book by Michael Connelly from Sony has no top margin and so is in shadow the whole... I checked his new book "Nine Dragons" same problem.

I checked a different author from Sony... Inside Steve's Brain (about Steve Jobs) and it has the same problem.

Clearly the issue is that the epubs from Sony aren't inclusive of a margin...

Sigh. I'll yell at them right now.
