Just got my Kindle 3 WiFi

Dark123 · 12-15-2010, 09:35 AM

Hey all,
I have just got my Kindle 3. I am still playing around with it. Anyone know how to remove the margins on the left and right? It's wasted space.
It's still charging so I've not been able to do much with it, but the browser seems nice. I need to get used to the locations as well (it feels weird).

Hi Dark123
Yes, that's if I understand you correctly.
First of all, do a forum search for "HORIZONTAL_MARGIN" and you find a couple of posts.
Personally I choose a setting of 11. Please note you must close "back,back,back,etc." until you're on the Home screen BEFORE you make the changes. That has fooled my a couple of times.
Hope this is what you're after.
Cheers,

Thank you pchrist7 & RexGalore.
It seems if I mess with the words per line, it defaults back to 40. I like it at 10, it's perfect. It's showing nearly 2x the text per screen than my old eReader.

EDIT: Anything else I should know? How to turn of the screensaver?

Correct, changing the words per line changes it back to default. So don't mess with that. But you can change the font size.

If you wanna mess with the screen saver you have to hack it. Then you can change the pictures and change how long it takes before the screen saver activates. Don't think it's a good idea to deactivate it completely though, but probably possible.
