@sage79--Yes. There are some things you can try.

1. k2pdfopt -mode 2col -fc- file.pdf

The -mode 2col will turn on native output. The -fc- turns off the feature that tries to force the column width to your device display width. With this turned off, the column width will be directly controlled by the output DPI (-odpi). If the text is still too large, decrease the output DPI (default is 167):

2. k2pdfopt -mode 2col -fc- -odpi 140 file.pdf

The value 140 is just an example. Use the value that works for you. You can also unwrap the text if you want:

3. k2pdfopt -fc- -wrap+ -odpi 140 file.pdf

This will also unwrap the text in the columns to fill the width of your display, getting more words onto each screen. Note that unwrapping is not compatible with native output, which is why I didn't use -mode 2col.
