Changing the margin on a Kindle Oasis

I recall with my first kindle there was a hack where you could almost disappear the margin so you had more reading area.
Is there a similar hack for the Oasis?

Do you mean adding negative left and right margins in the CSS stylesheet in the original ePub before sending it to your Kindle?

And there are some other things that can be done to get more text on the screen with KF8.
  • Use Hyphenate This! to add in soft hyphens to simulate hyphenation.
  • Use ChareInk6SP as your font which gives you smaller spaces and smaller space between the lines.
