That's because of a flaw in the book reader: it cannot dynamically adapt for
a different screen size than the one that it was originally developed for.
There is I think an alternative that would do that called PaperBack, but
PaperBack cannot opened the regular Newton books, the book needs to be in
the format that PaperBack can understand. So, the only way you can use your
full screen to read a book is finding a book that was initially created for
your screen.
