The idea is, to show that it's going on.
In my opinion, it's nonsense. Pagecount alone indicates, that it's going on.
Unfortunately, you can't turn it off (yet).
You easily can test it by rotating the screen. The fading remains, though it's the left and right edges then.
1 inch seems a lot. I'd have to check. But my memory is about 1cm, not 1 inch.
Ah, I figured it might be something like that, but like you said, it's nonsense and a bit irritating if you already have minimal fonts reading a PDF
And yeah, it more like 1cm/half an inch.
