Luving ♥ my Kindle 2. Though I still haven't been able to get the particular PDF eBook I've been trying to convert into a readable format that I'm comfortable with.

I couldn't get into the landscape way of reading it... my hands all weren't in the right place for paging and all, and sometimes it split the page mid line, so that actual words were cut in half, so obviously not an option I wanted to continue to pursue.

So working in portrait mode, I tried various settings of widening the vertical size to 600 which didn't seem to make much difference. The only thing that did help somewhat is changing the cropping value from 2 to 1. Because if I can get rid of the margins all along the sides of this thing, then it might be good. But I couldn't go less than 1, so it's still got a good 1" margin all around the text, making the overall text size too small to be comfortably read.

So any suggestions on how to get it so that all the white space on the sides is kaput? Since the screen resolution of the Kindle 2 is 800 x 600 (wide), should I be plugging in these parameters for the size. (I actually didn't notice much difference from when I did that versus leaving them at their default for the prc-mobi-p profile.
