Maybe you misunderstood what I meant. By "Resize" I'm referring to changing the size of the comic pages by X amount for height and Y amount for width so it fits the whole screen perfectly, top to bottom and side to side. The change in aspect ratio is small and doesn't distort the comics much (you really wouldn't notice it, unless you have a square comic and resized to the rectangular screen). It's just an option you could try, and generally using an image processing application the scaling is handled better than letting the screen do it. Still the K3 screen is only just big enough for comics, so sometimes I've had to look close to try to make out some text (usually if there's a *note in a comic panel its written a little smaller than narrative or dialogue text).

Batch processing images you might also be able to crop some of the comic if there is empty margin space you can get rid of. This will help use as much of the screens pixels as possible for the actual comic.

I have noticed though that the K3 seems to have its own empty borders which are different top & bottom to the sides and the margin setting in the config file (or can be set through Calibre) is a single value applied all around. So there will still be some white space I don't think can be removed top/bottom (these areas might be reserved for room for the menus etc). So maybe that's what you're seeing too.

Sorry I can't suggest anything better for you.
