Can Any E-Ink Reader Do This?

I have several Sony readers and love them.

I really like a lot of what I'm seeing about the T1, but before I jump I was wondering if there are any readers out there that might better handle a few things that frustrate me about the Sonys.

1. The book list....do any of the readers let you control the font size for this? The "cover" view is a joke for me.

2. The dictionary.... again, do any of the readers let you control the font size. A dictionary is a very nice feature I would assume....if you could actually see what it says.

I use calibre and my reading is for pleasure so I'm not concerned about PDF handling.

Thanks.

Kindle's allow font size choice in the dictionary itself, but not the initial popup. When you select a word, the popup is at the one fixed standard size. When you "click" to access the full definition the dictionary displays at the custom display size that you were using while reading the book.

The Kindle doesn't allow font size selection on the book list (unless this has been added to the new K4 line).
