Hi, powerful context users:
I'm wondering why there is no crop setting for \externalfigure or \insertpages.
I have a lot of scanned books in PDF format, most of them are double sided.
I want to read them on kindle but the huge margins take too much space
and as a result the texts are too small.
I want to use commands like \insertpages to crop all the pages with
different bounding box settings for odd/even pages.
there's a "scale" option for \copypages but it's somewhat naive to use
in such practical cases...

At least for \externalfigure you can use \clip; since you can use it
for "everything", it's a single command, not an option.
See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Graphical_text_manipulation#.5Cclip

\clip
(as Hraban said) see also

\clip can select rectangular regions
