I download the LWN weekly edition with Calibre, and that includes several pages of text in <pre> blocks from mailing lists. I just got a KV (now on 5.7.2.1 after jailbreaking the 5.6.5 that shipped), my first Kindle, after breaking the screen of my last reader last week. On that reader, at the smallest font size, in landscape, somewhere around 75 columns of fixed width text fit on a line, meaning most things fit and displayed as intended. On the Kindle it's maybe 65 columns? Not quite enough, whatever it is.
I tried altering the CSS in the EPUB Calibre generates, but it doesn't seem to have any effect once converted to MOBI. Is there a way to get pre-formatted text any smaller?
The monospaced text does scale along with the proportional when changing font size. It's just too relatively big at any setting.
