I'll try to be more specific on the margins. They are not uniform. The covers Front and Back) are ok but some of the others vary. Below is a picture of two pages in the horizontal mode to give you an idea. Top and bottom vary from page to page while left and right seem slighty big. I realize this may simply be a function of the original cartoon dimensions.
Same behavior when tested on my iPad. Looks kinda weird when one page is bigger than another. When reading in portrait 2-page view some of the text bubbles are too small since most the screen is wasted by the virtual book, and of course you can't zoom. I think anyone who purchases this will have to read it in landscape 1-page view.

Graphic novels are definitely not suited for the current iBooks epub format, but I guess you don't have a choice if you want to sell it in the iBooks store. This would look great as a cbz in ComicZeal or a pdf in one of the many pdf readers like Goodreader.
