Bottom margins should be larger than top margins and outer margins should be larger than inner margins and larger as the used line spacing as well. These are well known facts in book typography.

Exactly.
But the reason that the inner margin is smaller is that the two inner margins on opposite sides adds together and the white space in the middle should not be greater than the outer margin. That is not an issue for an ebook reader but I assume the page number in the margin is a good reason to have larger outer margin.
