Thanks, it does come in handy when all else fails....

I was wondering what the generally accepted settings for the Kindle 3 are. I've had a look through the thread but couldn't find any specifics related directly to this Kindle (mostly seems to be about K2).
I'm using the following settings cobbled from previous posts
Profile: prc-mobi (as default unless specified below)
landscape-half
colours = 16
resolution: any suggestions? Will the optimum resolution change depending on the input document or stay the same?
Does the K3 have the same screen resolution limitation as the K2 (ie 520x622). The "official" resolution is 600x800. I've tried a few (default, 600x800, 600x760 (to allow for the status bar), 520x622, 600x717). It doesn't seem to matter what I use, am getting phantom blank pages.

At the bottom of
post #1 of this thread, it has the following about the best dimension to use with the K2, namely:
Code:
Note: A Kindle 2 specific resolution (480x622) has been found to best work with no blank pages in between.

Also am having a strange problem with the default zoom applied. For example, the top half of a single page might go edge-edge but the next half has a inch border on the right hand side. Most pages have the inch border on both halves. Ideally I'd like them all edge-edge. Also pages with only a few short lines on them appear MASSIVE! IDeally these pages would have proportional size to the rest.

At the bottom of
post #1, the last EDIT has a link to a revised pdfread.exe executable that somewhat solves this problem, i.e.:

It's available in this post. Contains a modified pdfread.exe executable that now limits the expansion of small cropped pages to a more reasonable level (finally!).

Finally, is there anything you can do about ignoring "blank" pages that say "this page is intentionally left blank"?
Many thanks

Your best bet for the latter is to run PDFRead in "debug" mode and manually edit the the .opf to remove the offending page(s) after PDFRead finishes. Then just re-generate the edited version using Mobipocket Creator or calibre.
Please note that "debug" mode is simply "
placing an empty file called 'debug' in the PDFRead home directory will allow the temp directory to not be deleted at completion".
Hope this helps.
