I must have received an update as the reader now is behaving differently.

When I increase the font size the whole page enlarges and I start to lose the first and last few characters on a line.

How can I adjust the margins only please?

Thanks for the reply Jon, I have now solved the problem.

The Dewey Lambdin book I downloaded from the web is formatted in PDF. A little research made me suspect that this is the problem, I downloaded the Calibre app and used it to convert the book file to EPUB format.

I am now enjoying the book!

Does the bookstore you used only sell his books in PDF format? Maybe take another look and see if there's a properly formatted EPUB you could download from the store instead? PDF to EPUB conversions are rarely very satisfactory.

You are enjoying the book with all kinds of errors? Yes, you will have all kinds of errors converting from PDF.

My inkling is that the phrase "downloaded from the web" means not from a store.

I downloaded the book from ZLibrary which is a free library for ebooks.

I probably made a mistake when downloading as it hasn't happened previously and I have frequently used their library.

The EPUB conversion has worked flawlessly without problems, from the comments in this thread I have been lucky for which I am grateful.

Thank you everyone for responding.

Is that Z-Library, the mirror of Library Genesis but with some additional user uploaded content?
Do they check/moderate the user uploads?

Yes you did make a mistake. You downloaded an eBook from a pirate eBook site and then you came here to ask for help.

I don't think ZLibrary is an illegal site, the home page claims that it started up in 2009 and is part of the books4you organisation. The link is Redacted..

The site appears to be well established and includes moderators, how would one detect that it is an illegal site?

If it gives copyright books for free that are not currently free anywhere else.

I've no idea as I didn't sign up.
