You can increase the "Document Resolution Factor" in the gui or use the -dr command-line option to improve the resolution, but there's not much point to going above 300 dpi since that is the resolution of your PW3. It will also cause the size of the output file (in bytes) to increase. Attached is a screenshot from using -dr 2 (which doubles the resolution to 600 dpi).
You cannot directly specify words per line or lines per page, but you can specify the size of the font in points the output file checking the "Fixed output font size" box and putting in the value you want, and this will indirectly determine the words per line and lines per page. You can also separately specify the vertical line spacing in the output file with the -vls option. E.g. putting -vls 2 in the "Additional options" box will double-space the output text. See attached screen shot for example.

Thank you for your quick reply and for valuable information.
I compiled the latest version of k2pdfopt (v2.51a) after your message. My precedent results have been obtained with v2.42.
Since I am using the mac version of k2pdfopt I need to ask what is the equivalent of "Fixed output font size" box in the command line ?
Based on your suggestion, here is what I use currently :
-gs -gtr 0.18 -col 1 -mag 1.65 -dr 2.75 -idpi 600 -vls 1.6 kp3 -x
Maybe some commands are not necessary…
My purpose is to get closer to what I have when reading an AZW3 (see attached Kindle' screenshots), and it is almost achieved. Thank you.
What I try to get right now is :
if it is possible :
1. Get the text adjusted (no space in the end of lines). Just like AZW3.
2. Specify the same font in the output file that I use when reading under Kindle PW3 (I am using a personalized one called CharInk).
3. Overcome the artefact encountered on page 16, line 5 (see pdf attached).
Great thanks in advance for your time.
