I'm not sure if you've got Kindle DXs confused with the third generation Kindles Amazon have just released, but the Kindle 3 only has a 6" screen. Now that 6" is the size diagonally, the length of the screen is actually more like 12.3 cm, once you allow for the margins you have a viewable width of roughly 11 cm. Once you allowed for the space between columns which would be roughly another 6-7 mm you would be talking about 5.2 cm per column - that's roughly 4 words per line for each column. I suspect this would not make it feel like a book but more like a tabloid newspaper.

I have attached a close-up photo of a typical page in landscape orientation which might help you understand why I wouldn't recommend 2 pages on the screen.
In that image what font size are you using...max or min?


surely it depend on the font size and i thought i saw elsewhere here you could configure the number of words per line and font size and spacing between words and lines

am i right ?

could you do another screen shot showing the smallest font with smallest space between words and lines?
