Can't find reader.pref in paperwhite's system folder

Hi,
I can't find the file to change the page margins in Kindle Paperwhite. Does anybody know where this file lies? It must be in the "com.amazon.ebook.booklet.reader" folder, but I don't see any such folder in the System folder. I have made the kindle folders unhide.
My software version is the newest one: 5.3.9
Thanks for any help on this.

There is no file reader.pref available om Paperwhite 2012/2013.

The file can be found here on the Touch/Paperwhite:
/var/local/java/prefs/reader.pref

It's a binary file, however. See:

One has to have root access to their Kindle.

Thank you for the information. I found out that I can use k2pdfopt to resize my pdf documents for Kindle PW. I don't really need many changes beyond this one.
