Probably that space is 'vertical margin'. The previous version of Freda was ignoring the book's directives about vertical margin; version 1.1 does pay attention to them. But on some books (particularly PDFs converted by Calibre) that produces a vertical margin that is uncomfortably large for reading on a phone screen. On the book properties screen, set 'Max Margin=10%' (or 0%) and it should display better.

Maybe the book uses an encoding (code page) that is not present on your phone? If you'd like me to check it out, please send me the epub file, and your Freda log file (\program files\freda\logfile.txt), and I will investigate. You can email me at home@jim-chapman.net
