On my Glo measuring from the left edge of the screen to the H in "Highly flammable.", I got the following results.

Margin slider fully to the left:
Toast-narrow has a 2mm margin
Toast-wide has a 17mm margin

Margin slider fully to the right:
Toast-narrow has a 16mm margin
Toast-wide has a 31mm wide margin

This is using the font size my tired old eyes find comfortable. At the lowest font size settings, the margins on Toast-wide go from 6mm to 20mm which is about the same 14mm change.

The bug in 2.3.1 that I found annoying was the once in a while switch to the smallest font size when paging to a new chapter which seems be one of those bugs that hit only a few people. 2.3.2 hasn't shown that behaviour as yet. There are still some nits such as the TOC issues but overall, I'm quite happy with my Glo.

I was misunderstanding the issue, due to not being able to change margins at all in 2.1.5

Luckily I have very few books with this problem.

I had the small fonts issue with 2.1.5, but it seems to be gone in 2.3.1 and I am unaware of the TOC issue.

My biggest issue is touch screen problems and even that seems marginally better with 2.3.1

Anyway thanks for the lesson, I enjoyed it.
