The reference for @page is here.

Note that, for the Cybook/ADE combination, you want top and bottom margins in a @page{} element, but if you want side margins, you better put them in body{}, because page numbers would be affected by page margins (and, if I remember correctly, you have to used a class for the <body>, or the Cybook just uses default margins).
Thanks, Jellby - and apologies for misspelling your name earlier. I've bookmarked the page and will study it when I can.

But from what I've read so far I'm not sure that it answers my original question. I've handmade a couple of ePub ebooks myself, with body {margin: 2%}.

When reading eg 'The War Prayer' on my ECO Reader there is a nice unobtrusive space between the top of the text and the bottom of the top margin of the screen. When reading the same book on my Cybook the text is flush with the top of the screen - ie no whitespace at all.

Would setting the top margin with @page mean they book would appear the same on both readers?

Regards, Alex
