If I ever actually feel like spending lots of time learning python coding I may try to see if I can figure out how to change it. For now, it's more an annoyance than anything else. I just wish Sony's software was better. There seems to me no reason why I shouldn't be able to set a default size for the font it uses.

You might try to add CSS to change font size into Calibre. I don't have Calibre installed at the computer from which I'm typing this, but IIRC there's two Calibre Preference places where you can add CSS, in the Viewer Preferences and in the Convert Preferences. If you're not reading your newspapers on a PC, then the Viewer is out. I guess you could try to convert the default newspaper that's fetched by Calibre to make the font bigger, but of course the disadvantage is that that's an extra step. Here's the mobileread thread for CSS in Calibre.

E.g., try something like this for a test:
body {font-size:120%;}
h1 {font-size:160%;}
h2 {font-size:140%;}

Try it twice if it doesn't work the first time. I and another poster both saw no effects on CSS changes the first time, then mysteriously they took effect from then on. Makes no sense, I know, but worth a try.
