Thanks, but the real praise should go to the original developer of the program, ashkulz! I'm just the maintainer (and it's number one fan!)...

Now, as the previous poster was saying, would it be possible to throw in a margin-cropping option so that someone can look at their book and determine that they would like to chop off, say, an inch margin from left and right, and 1.5 inches from top and bottom? I'm talking about just chopping it off regardless of whether there's a page number or footer or whatever, that way it will stretch the image up to Kindle 2 resolution and appear bigger, and if specifying inches is too hard then pixels would work too.
Cheers!

Margin cropping and general cleaning-up of .pdf scans are already supported via the
unpaper option box (just insert -v to activate it and supply other paramters there as well). Click that blue "unpaper" text on the PDFRead GUI screen and it will take you to the unpaper website. I haven't worked through all the options, but do know it's possible (the margins are in absolute pixels, I think). Be sure to also read the
unpaper - User Documentation.
Perhaps we can try experimenting on a sample .pdf book scan (any suggestions?) to ensure all can help and contribute with this exercise. It's a very time consuming option though, so limited page ranges are recommended while testing.
