Yes, it is an advantage but it is also a disadvantage. I have found that it first depends on the original font size used and second on how large the size becomes when it gets increased. It becomes very frustrating to read a book with 6 words constituting a page
.
I find that if the base font size is 12 point, then S or M on my Sony is fine. Unfortunately sometimes M isn't quite right and L becomes unreadable.
I expect that in a few years we will be able to exert much finer control over text size standardly, perhaps even being able to set our readers to have a default font and margin size (which is something we should be able to do now, I would think).
