Hello,

I've got a question concerning font sizes on Sony Readers.

My PRS-350 has 6 zoom levels (xs, s, m, l, xl, xxl). However, for me personally, 'xs' is definitely to small, and 'l' and bigger is definitely to big. That means that I only use two zoom levels.

Occasionally, I'd like 's' to be bigger, but 'm' seems to be to big. So, what I'd like to do is to somehow change existing zoom levels to be less extreme.

Here's an example:
Assuming right now we have predefined values like this (just guessing):
Level -- Size (in pt)
xs -- 6
s -- 8
m -- 11
l -- 14
xl -- 18
xxl -- 24

I'd like something like this:
Level -- Size (in pt)
xs -- 7
s -- 8
m -- 9
l -- 10
xl -- 11
xxl -- 12

Hope I made my point understandable...

Any ideas if and how this could be done, either on a per book basis with calibre or on reader basis with different firmwares?
I'd also be happy about links to similar threads in this forum (I couldn't find any)...
