Fewer is appx. 1/2 inch L&R margin, and Fewest is appx. 3/4 inch L&R margins. These settings are ridiculous of course. Amazon should have set Fewest to no more than 1/4 inch L&R margins and the other two to even smaller margins.

I'm going to explore mobi a bit better and see in I can find a way to decrease the margins in converted books.
Hi Jack.
Sounds great. Still waiting for delivery. After seeing all the videos I was confused, as I thought/expected the margins to be 0, utilizing the whole screen. So please keep us posted
