Kindle Scribe Best Practices

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a Kindle Scribe this morning. That 10 inch 300DPI with a warmlight and $60 cheaper than the Kobo Elipsa 2E won me over.

I haven't been a Kindle User in 6 or 7 years now so I'll have to get back in the swing of things with the Kindle inteface.

Anyone have a list of best practices on the best ways to do things like minimize margins and line spacing (even further than allowed by the common methods), add additional fonts, display the book cover on the sleep screen, best practices involving charging -(run it down or keep it topped off) and anything else useful you might know of.

On the kobo they have a thing called devmode where you can access several other features - anything similar on Kindle?

On Kobo there is an editable configuration file - does one exist on the Kindle?

What do you Kindle folks do to your devices?

EDIT - My plan is to be converting my Kobo epub books to mobi format and transferring them to the Scribe via USB. The wifi will be turned off almost always. Is mobi the best amazon format to convert to? I really don't care about the notebook functionality or writing notes on books - just the basic ebook reading usability.
