Kindle 3 Settings

Hello,

This software is great. Until now I've been forced to read either poor conversions via Kalibre/Amazon Convert or leave them on my PC (which means they dont get read). I have a few small issues which I think might be related to the settings.

I was wondering what the generally accepted settings for the Kindle 3 are. I've had a look through the thread but couldn't find any specifics related directly to this Kindle (mostly seems to be about K2).

I'm using the following settings cobbled from previous posts

Profile: prc-mobi (as default unless specified below)
landscape-half
colours = 16
resolution: any suggestions? Will the optimum resolution change depending on the input document or stay the same?

Does the K3 have the same screen resolution limitation as the K2 (ie 520x622). The "official" resolution is 600x800. I've tried a few (default, 600x800, 600x760 (to allow for the status bar), 520x622, 600x717). It doesn't seem to matter what I use, am getting phantom blank pages.

Also am having a strange problem with the default zoom applied. For example, the top half of a single page might go edge-edge but the next half has a inch border on the right hand side. Most pages have the inch border on both halves. Ideally I'd like them all edge-edge. Also pages with only a few short lines on them appear MASSIVE! IDeally these pages would have proportional size to the rest.

Finally, is there anything you can do about ignoring "blank" pages that say "this page is intentionally left blank"?

Many thanks
Dave
