Maybe it would be nice if there was a short "how-to" on how to make a (simple) ebook from scratch. All documentation I could found was geared toward thesises. And those are all printed on A4 format.
Yeah, default margins suck for ebooks. I'd recommend using the memoir class (instead of the standard book, report, article...) and reading its excellent manual. Or, at a minimum, use the geometry package thus:

Code:
\usepackage[papersize={9cm,12cm},margin=2mm]{geometry}
