Kindle default margins without hyphenation are best for me, kfx formatting is nice eg ligatures and kerning but I can't concentrate on a slab of pure justification with hyphenation. Ragged left is okay but mostly it's ragged left justification.
What I would like is kerning ligatures no hyphenation minimal justification and koreader word expansion values I could save to a text file as a style and apply that style in koreader which I think is now possible.
I know it can be done and that there are default kindle values specified somewhere since I am now JB but I would rather not mess sth up being given root.
I of course don't expect anyone to do the work for me just guide me to the information if it is public and if not then advise me where are the files located.
I would have posted in koreader sub but I don't know how kindle demographic is there.
Sorry for the long post, don't know how to make it shorter.
How are Kindle margins good for you? What's the different between smaller margins and Kindle margins other then wasted screen space? I know some like some margin between the text and the bezel, but I cannot see why the Kindle has margins as wide as it does.

You say you don't like hyphens, but do you like gaps more then you don't like hyphens?

KFX is the only way to get kerning and ligatures. KF8 does not do either. But with KFX, I don't know if you can turn off hyphenation.

On a 300DPI 6" screen, I think the Kindle L/R margins may be 50px. If it's not 50px, it's close as it's more then 45px and it won't be more then 50px.
