Question about margins. Most of my epub books have a bit of margin, enough to feel comfortable on the screen. Typically, if I increase the font size, the margin stays pretty much the same. But once in a while, I find one that, when I increase the font size, also winds up with wider margins. I'm testing a newly purchased book for someone with senior eyes, and I found when I popped it up to XL font, the margins became ridiculous.

Why does this occur in only some books? What's the best way to massage the file through Calibre to prevent it from happening? I'm experimenting with reducing the number of points in the margin size in the epub config, and that helps--but the margin still grows with the font size. Do I need to set the margin all the way to zero?
