Lightbulb Option to trim wasted space?
Many ebooks in ePUB, MOBI, and AZW format make terrible use of ereader screen real estate. Common tripups include:

* Poor spacing between paragraphs
* Poor word spacing within paragraphs
* Insanely wide indent length for blockquotes and such

Could Calibre help clean up some of this wasted space when converting ebooks? Anything outside code snippets like PRE, KBD, and TT elements, should be fair game for some hedge trimming.
