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
)
