I've only tested this on the voyager because I've read that calibre can't handle the mobi files created by KCC. In any case, I've opened the mobi files in calibre and it shows each page being 1072x1448 and the 700x1100 image is indeed in the center. So it looks like the kindle viewer automatically crops out the white margins but probably does it in a per book basis and not per page. So with chapter 2, the odd oversized page had no margins, which made the viewer not crop the surrounding pages. I did notice in other chapters that some pages had some margin appear at top or bottom, which can be explained by the auto-cropping feature limiting it's cropping due to another page having a large content area. This margin cropping thing on the kindle... is that something new?

Proof! I made the calibre reading background green so you can see the actual edges of the image.


Is there an option to not add margins to undersized pages? That is, I want a 700x1100 to stay that size in mobi and not have margins added to make it a 1072x1448 page? Maybe this will allow the viewer to treat each page separately?

Panel View is when you double-tap the page, it zooms in to one of the corners, and there is a overview map in the lower-right? Nope, definitely not in the mode. But when I do enter panel view, the original margins are shown.
