Exactly, why a split by '
four' may be useful, so as to get rid of those wider than acceptable white margins.
The size of the resulting text is largely due to the size format of the original pdf. If starting with a A4/Letter sized pdf with 10/12pt text, then the resulting text should not be so large as to be unacceptable. If starting with a Sony ereader sized pdf then why bother, the resulting text will appear huge.
In the end this technique will work best when the original pdf, as view on the ereader hardware, is just too small to read comfortably.
I have only done a few tests, but think that in real world conversions, the better split ratio will be between
three and
four.
