Bug Description

Sometimes books have very wide margins, that waste a lot of space.
In the example attached, the book is difficult to read because of this.
In this situation, a "Fit visible" zoom option, as seen in Acrobat Reader for example, would be invaluable, as it would automagically get rid of the left and right margins and expand the text accordingly.

Thanks for the suggestion. As upstream tracks both issues (this and bug 38297) in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169676 - I'd very much like to sum the bugs up in one bug report. Can you agree?
