Here are my settings in preambula:

\usepackage[papersize={85.09mm,111.76mm},margin=0.55mm]{geometry}

% Tried to fix the dictionary lookup - didn't help
\usepackage{cmap}

% font
\usepackage[minionint,opticals,fullfamily]{MinionPro}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\figureversion{text,proprotional}

% Make sure words with ligatures are searchable in PDF
\input glyphtounicode
\pdfgentounicode=1

% Microtypography enhancements
\PassOptionsToPackage{kerning=true, spacing=true, babel=true}{microtype}
\usepackage[normalmargins]{savetrees}

\pagestyle{empty}

The settings give me decent PDF quality.

The dictionary problem is curios - when the cursor is activated and moved from word to word, it appears that a dictionary popup-shaped shadow blinks quickly where the pop-up should have appeared and the outlines of the letters in that area are visibly "smeared".

Another problem is that Kindle centers partially full pages (starts/ends of chapters) vertically which could be solved by drawing very thin horizontal lines in header/footer in some light grey color so that they are invisible. I am investigating how to do that without losing any page real estate.
