I've done some fiddling with the ms macros to add Kindle
support. What I have is:
. \" Override page/font parameters for Kindle
.if '\nK'1' \{\
.nr PS 7
.nr VS 8
.nr LL 3i
.nr TL 3i
.nr PD 0
.nr PI 3n
.nr PO 0.1i
.po 0.1i
.nr HM 0.1i
.nr FM 0.1i
.ds LH
.ds CH
.ds RH
.ds LF
.ds CF
.ds RF
.pl 4i
.tl
\}
.el \{\
.po 1.25i
.nr PO 1.25i
\}
You activate Kindle formatting by setting the K register
to 1. The biggest issue I've run into are tables and
figures that need the space of a larger page. As for
man pages, There's already a register (s) you can set
to 1 to get it format for 9" pages. That does improve
things a bit in portrait orientation scaled to fit the
screen.
Those might at least give you a good starting point.
