I downloaded PDF with a book. Text in it is aligned to the left and to the right (which is very good). But unfortunately nook only allows me to select out of 7 font sizes. When I select size number 2 (from the left), text of this books is too small, difficult to read, lines take only ~60% of the screen. And when I select size number 3, lines become so wide that nook breaks them, and it begins to look very ugly (to me).

It looks like if nook had more font sizes, or if size was a floating point number, I could select the right one to view this book. But unfortunately BN left us with only 7 choices for some reason.

Anybody hit such problem? What is the possible solution besides waiting for BN to (maybe?) fix this in the future? Not sure if BN even reads this forum for improvement ideas.
