There used to be a way to reduce margins on devices using firmware 5.x branch but IIRC since somewhere around 5.10.x that stopped working. The same code is still there (or at least it was there when I last tried doing those JAR edits on firmware 5.13.6 on Kindle PW3) but probably the hardcoded values get overridden someplace else since changing values in that known location doesn't change anything.

I'm not even sure if after editing JAR files on newer Kindle models that are using verified boot ( or whatever it is called) those devices would even boot successfully.
