Welcome to MR. Can you post or PM (private message) to me one of the PDFs you are having trouble with? If the columns are narrow and do not require re-flow at the font size you desire, you should be able to use the output DPI to scale the font to the size you want, but you'll want to add this option:
Code:
-fc-
(You can put that in the "Additional Options" box in the MS Win GUI.) That will prevent the columns from being fit to the width of your device automatically, which is the default behavior (ignoring the -odpi setting). Sorry about that--it's a tricky thing to remember and can hang people up (even me). I'll have to think about how to make it more obvious.

If the columns are wide enough that the text needs to be re-flowed to get the font size you want on your kindle, then you cannot use native mode, since it is incompatible with text re-flow. So you can't use "-mode 2col" or "-mode fw", both of which turn on native output.
