Troubleshooting Change margin on Paperwhite not working

you4ever · 10-25-2012, 08:46 PM

I'm using my new Kindle paperwhite to read pdf files. And I followed the instructions step by step online to change the width of the white margins on the left and right by editing the reader.pref file in "/var/local/java/prefs/". However, it seems this method no longer works. After restart the margin is not changed. And I downloaded the reader.pref again and find the binary values that was modified is restored to their original values for some reasons.

Any one could help? Thanks in advance!
