I'm sorry, I was confused there for a second (and edited my post, but you'd already quoted me so I changed it back).
Anyway, yes, splitting by four gives very good results concerning the left and right border – the text size is rather large though (see attached image).
It would be great if the pi algorithm would have an option to specify the page width and height in pixels and optimise the line breaks accordingly. The size of the text could then be defined by changing the image density (dpi) with pdftoppm. Right now there's no difference when viewing it with my Cybook, because the number of characters/words per line will always be the same (well of course the text will look fuzzy if the density is set too low).
