So that's a practicable solution.
Great that you got it to work for you! Enjoy your new found volumes of reading materials!

As a separate issue, I had to use "landscape-half" to make the fonts readable on the Cybook; am I correct in assuming that this will vary from book to book?
That's the way I convert MOST .pdf ebooks so that they are legible on smaller screens, that is, until I got a hardware reader that could actually display/zoom .pdf ebooks natively! I still read .pdf ebooks thereon landscape!

And is there any way of over-riding the preset categories in "Layout Mode" to provide more precise gradations from book to book?
Any option YOU select on the GUI will override the preset values and those selected values should be remembered.

One final query: I specified the "Size" as "H480V620"; is this the correct way to do it for the Cybook?
Yes, that's the way I refer to the screen dimensions: Horizontal x Vertical i.e. width x height (488 x 620).

And one final comment; I can't help feeling that all the problems may stem from the GUI's miss-spelling of the words "colour" (TWICE!) and "grey".
I'm Canadian so I too spell it "colour" and "grey" though I don't mind using "gray" interchangeably. "Color" is prevalent in my world as I am so close to the US that it's the way I see it spelt for the most part.

I'm not to fussy about using one way or another, especially given this is an International forum and the US out numbers Canada 10 to 1!
