I just got a Kindle 2 and I've noticed that valuable screen space is wasted.

I have text size set to the minumum and the 'Words per line' set to default, but there is too much margin on both sides, and enough space unused for 3 or 4 more lines of text, two at the top and two at the bottom. Also, the 'header and footer' info areas take up a lot more room that they could.

Is there a way to get more use of the already quite small screen? Or is it up to the individual book formatting?
