No, the default is the usable max screen dimensions. Horizontal resolution (Hres) is 520 and Vertical resolution (Vres) is 640 per the Mobipocket Profiles I listed here or in post #1 above. I opened up your 400-600.prc and exploded it using my Mobi2IMP just to see the .html and images (see attached .zip). I saw that all your images were less than 600 pixels tall and the html doesn't look strange. This is what I got using Mobi2IMP:
Code:
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" /><title>400-600</title><meta content="Adam Nathan" name="author" /><meta content="Programming" name="genre" /><meta content="Programming" name="category" /><meta content="PDFRead v1.8.2" name="generator" /><style>p {text-indent:0em; margin-left:0em; margin-right:0em; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em; text-align:none}</style><STYLE type="text/css">p {text-indent:0em; padding-top:0em; padding-bottom:1em} header {display:none; display:oeb-page-head}</STYLE></head>
<BODY style="margin-left:2%; margin-right:2%; text-align:justify">
<h2 align="center">400-600</h2><h2 align="center">by</h2><h2 align="center">Adam Nathan</h2><ul><li><a href="#0000000641">A Look at the Past</a><li><a href="#0000000687">Enter WPF</a></ul>

no difference either in the size of the output (I measured the same line of text with a ruler on my Kindle) or blank pages. Reduced further to 500x700, still no difference in either, which is strange... I would have imagined the output would look smaller. Reduced to 400x600, still no difference. Reduced to 300x500, no difference but I can see the quality is deteriorating... I probably didn't notice this before because of the low-light here. 200x400 and we see a difference in both the size (quality is bad of course) and for the first time, no blank pages. I must confess that at this point I'm confused as to what the V/H res options are doing.
See above re: Hres and Vres as they are entered in the GUI as Size: H: and V:.

I've attached the .prc files in a zip file, perhaps some people out there can test the default.prc file on their readers and check to see if they see blank pages as well.

This didn't help me find anything special; perhaps it's a Kindle 2 issue. Try using H: 520 and V: 640 and use that "debug" trick to leave the exploded temp directory with the .html and images. Try using Mobipocket Creator or Calibre to create a new .prc and see if that one works! That, to me, could indicate that Mobiperl's code may be incompatible with the Kindle 2!
