On default settings (Font size # 3, regular typeface, large line spacing,
default words per line) Kindle screenВ accommodates 221 words.
I have my controls set at the
default font size, but with the fewest
words per line, giving a nice margin to the page of text.
Font Size: press the «Aa» button just right of the space bar, and a menu will come up that allows you to select one of 8 font sizes, three typefaces («regular,» «condensed,» and my favorite, «sans serif»),
line spacing («small,» my favorite «medium,» or «large»), and
words per line (which sets the side margins; I use «
default»).
