What's the problem?

As I mentioned in my post back
here, the screen isn't too much smaller than the text area of a paperback.
Unfortunately, it's a little on the small and squat side if you want to make a book with functional margins. Fortunately for epub readers, typesetting is just a horrific bourgeois exploit, so they don't need to worry about it.
