Lightbulb Maximize the use of Sony PRS Reader screen

This should work on all Sony PRS Reader model with 6" screen, maybe it'll work on other sizes too, just change the resolution size to fit your screen.

It's really simple, I wonder why nobody ever posted it before.

By default, Sony Reader's effective display size is 584x754 in portrait mode.( 784x1012 in landscape mode.) That is because Sony Reader allocate 8px margin on each side, and the page bar is 30px in height (for T1).

For those who don't want this margin and want maximize use for the screen without third-party apps,

1. Resize your scanned book size to 600x770 (with pdflrf or other software you preffered)
2. Open it in your Reader, goto [Customize View] -> [Crop Page], current mode should be in [Uncrop] mode, if not, set it to [Uncrop] first!
3. Set to [Manual] crop
4. DO NOT resize or move! click on [Done] directly.

Now you got an "almost fullscreen" view mode without 8px margin.
