3) Unplug the Kindle, go to settings and make a restart (do not open any book before the restart).

Now you should have the margin width you chose; changing font size, font typeface and line spacing doesn't reset the margins value. On the other hand if you change "words per line" it does reset the margin to the default value (40pixels).
Given the dates on this thread, I'm guessing this trick only works on older Kindles, but since I am a Kindle newbie trying to figure out my Kindle Voyage, I thought I'd ask:

Is there a way to reduce left/right margins on the Kindle Voyage?

I've opened up the system folder, but there are no files that resemble the pref file that others have been able to tinker with.

Suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you!
