Absolutely, Harry. Sony's problem, and hence mine, is that although some books are all right, others are way too small at the largest size. Sony just blames the publishers, but Kindle and others do what you say and let the reader pick the font. Kindle has six, count 'em, size type sizes. If Sony let us sample a book before buying, as Amazon does, we would know which books had too small type. But, noooo. I purchased several that were too hard to read, and was just stuck with them.

Which is why I gave my Reader to my wife and got the Kindle, which meets my needs for large type in ALL of Amazon's books.
