Well, it rather depends on the original PDF and how large you want the text size to look like. I attached an image of a random page how it would with the split by three look on my Cybook (set to "Fit Height"). You can see there are rather large borders on the left and right side. If I set it to "Fit Width" there are only the small borders I added via my script, but the text size is too large for my taste and I would have to scroll down to see the whole page.
