But the margin thing seems to be a case of their setting the formatting assuming certain text and display sizes and I'm not sure how much that's a problem with how the publishers specify this stuff and how much is the rendering engine. This seems to be specific to ePub, too.
Css can handle that. How do you think website and differants screen size works ? Writing em instead of px is not much of a job.
Plus, i sometimes saw books with really big rght margin, just to avoid the page numbers (useless, as the opus handels that by itself.)
