Yes. It's really shocking how large the font sizes are that are used. We all tend to think, when we discuss ADE or KP, sort of around the default font size, but a key selling point for e-readers is people being able to read without glasses, or to read on public transportation without having to squint, thus, the large fonts. It's never really a problem with fiction, but with non-fiction, it can be a bitch. (Design-wise, I mean).
