From the samples I've downloaded to my Kindle 2 (including the dictionary and user guide) I think the Kindle has a built-in border that simply can't be used up, so I *think* this is the best that can be done but I want to make sure.

Also, unpaper doesn't take that long at all, just adds a second or two to each page so feel free to use it.

If the small border left over is a white border/margin, then look at this post for an explanation of why this might happen. Nothing you can do about it while preserving the aspect-ratio!

To increase the resulting font size (and improve its readability), you may want to try a landscape profile and landscape-half layout mode. Though, if its large enough for you in portrait mode, then by all means go with that!

Can you post your example .pdf and the resulting .prc (screenshots would be fine)? What was the size of the pdf images in pixels? what percentage would 180 or 150 pixels represent?

If based on dpi and say letter sized .pdfs, then 300x8.5 = 2250 pixels wide, so 150/2550 = 6% or 150/300 = 0.5" from the right and 300x11 = 3300 pixels tall, so 180/3300 = 5.4% or 180/300 = 0.6" from the top.

Does that sound about right?

The PDFRead profile's length and width (Hres & Vres)do represent what was discovered to be the max. resolution of images for the Kindle 1. I would think the Kindle 2 would be the same i.e. max image size would be less than 600x800!
