Note: I use the tweak/hack (also available from Calibre via the Kindle Collections PI) to reduce the side margins value from 40 to 10 (= 5 per side)
The text matches pretty much line for line (+/-font face variations)
a Plastic bezel is a lot cheaper than paying for a e-ink display of a larger size, JUST to display... Nothing 
So, why must there be full sized e-Ink (side) margins?? |
You've a good point. And that's why I bought a Kobo. I find that you can't shrink the margins on a Kindle enough. What you see on a picture, is made specifically for that picture. I think that if you had that device in your hand with those settings, you'd probably also think that the font size is rather large...
