As I prefer no margins with my 505, I'd prefer no margins with whatever eBook reader I had.
I will add a switch '--nomargins' to mobi2imp.exe (version 5) to accomodate this preference.

Sometimes on the REB 1200, when I use no margins, text can bleed into the side of the screen. I, personally, don't find this visually appealing, so I prefer at least a small margin, say 2% (of the screen width). On the REB 1200 with screen size of 480x680, this results in 9 to 10 pixels or 1 character on each side.

In addition to the default 2% left and right margins, I will probably add the just the following margins settings (switches) to mobi2imp:

--nomargins = 0% left and right margins
--largemargins = 5% left and right margins
--hugemargins = 8% left and right margins

I feel it is best to deal with margins in terms percentages (%) so to accomodate varying screen size proportionally.

Any other thoughts?
