Briss is pretty good. You have to 'draw' the crop area(s) yourself using the GUI interface.

Calibre's own 'pdfmanipulate' combined with GhostScript (free) has an option which does a very neat job (but can be a little slow) at precisely removing all the outer margins for each page. However, it is a commandline utility, i.e. no GUI. It can be wrapped into a Windows batch file to make it a one-button option.

I've also experimented using pdfmanipulate combined with some other free utilities and some of my own code to split every page into 2 equal-size pages (top and bottom)

Yes, in all cases I read them in landscape mode. The text is smaller than ideal, but it's been readable (for me) on the PDFs I've tried so far, especially with a little tweaking of the Contrast/Brightness settings. I wasn't aware that there was a problem with landscape on my PRS650? Unless you mean that you don't like that the Sonys only split each page into 2 parts (top/bottom) which often means that the full width of the landscape screen isn't used.
