After reading this, I'm a little concerned.

So how bad is it? Does it vary from book to book? Is it getting better?
A lot depends on your point of view. The article you cited includes the following sentence:

"Unfortunately, font size can be controlled by the user on the Kindle"

From my point of view the biggest reason for reading a book electronically is because it lets me change font sizes to sizes I can read comfortably and this criticism seems to be lunacy.
