Current version of firmware for Kindle Touch lacks support of landscape mode. WTF! There is
jailbreak already, but no any lanscape hack. What will be very usefull for reading pdf. So, if there is no way to make it directly on Kindle, we will make it for Kindle)
I'm use
k2pdfopt like this:
k2pdfopt.exe -col 1 -j 0+ -ls -ui -fc- -odpi 130 -h 711 -w 521 -om 0 -cmax 1 -s- -rt 0 -mb 0.7 %1
Let's look at them in detail:
- -col 1 - means that there is no need to find any columns in text. If you have tables, this will helps to not break them to columns at new pages
- -j 0+ - tries to justification text left
- -ls - rotate page to landscape
- -ui - run UI for making additional tuning before converting
- -fc - don't fit columns to width
- -odpi 130 - slightly zooming of input file
- -h 711-w 521 - width and height of screen zone for displaying pdf. There is table for other readers.
- -om 0 -disable output margin, Kindle Touch already has margin about 10px near pdf displaying zone
- -cmax 1 -s- - disable increasing of contrast and sharpening. This makes fonts looks more like ClearType, with soft edges.
- -rt 0 - disable auto determination of source orientation
- -mb 0.7 - cut bottom margin of source in inches. This is for cutting original footer with page number etc on every source page.
- %1 - name of source pdf
You can save this as .cmd file, and drag'n'drop your pdf files over.
