I like your post, winsomnia, and I agree with it, except for this assertion

This 1894 car is just like our primitive ereaders.
There is a sort of nostalgia about old paper books, which I often hear from people who seldom or never read, about the touch and smell of paper and such nonsense. Why not make a book-smelling paper-touch reader?
PS: About margins, my opinion is also the same as yours: first (with a
black Kobo) I thought the wisest was to ue the full screen surface, then I noticed that letters close to the border were less legible, and I adopted a thin margin. However, in Amanuensis, which I mostly use to make or rebuild books, I set margins to 0, as margins are adjustable on Kobo, and a minimum margin is just a limitation to the reader's freedom.
