Correct cfrizz. The younger generation are going with smaller format books and ebooks, while the older generation are going with larger format books and larger typefaces. Heck, it's uncommon to have books in 12 point font, and yet I published my novel in that because I knew a large portion of my readers would be older people who would appreciate the larger font.
