I'm expecting my Kindle 2 to arrive next week and in preparation I'm converting a few of the PDFs I want to move over. When I used the prc-mobi-p profile, besides the expected downgrade in graphics quality (b/w vs 16 shades gray), the resultant output file had large margins on the bottom and right-hand side. With the iLiad-p profile, each page image came closer to filling the entire page and looked much better.

So I should have no problem pulling this iLiad version into the Kindle 2 right?
By default, they both create a .prc "ebook" but with differing pages sizes and shades of gray i.e.
Code:
       prc-mobi  :   520   640   landscape      right           4     gray        prc 
       prc-mobi-p:  520   640   portrait        none            4     gray        prc 
       iLiad        :   768   935   landscape      right          16     gray        prc 
       iLiad-p     :   768   935   portrait        none           16     gray        prc
You can override the above defaults for either profile to suit your needs. I think the iLiad .prc may be a bit too large for the Kindle 2 screen. I'd rather you not have to shrink them down to accomodate, as this adds another (post-) image conversion step that may diminish the quality. It would be better just to increase the default colors to 16 from 4 and use the mobi-prc profiles.

When you get your K2, just experiment which works better (and, of course, report your findings back here )
