Basically the PRS+ firmware lets you select custom css files which allow you to specify display settings which should override those of the css embedded in the epub itself.

Here's what I do

1 - On the actual "READER" disk when connected by USB I create the directory

/database/system/PRSPlus/epub

2 - Into this directory I place my custom css files

3 - My css files are very very simple, since all I want to do is change the font size, not the font itself.

I create a number of files which will scale the font by a different amount

eg 90.css

p {font-size: 0.9em}

80.css
p {font-size: 0.8em}

etc

4 - I then go to the settings->PRS+ settings->book viewer settings -> User ePub Style (CSS file) and select the appropriate css file.

This works well for me because I process all my books with calibre which wraps all paragraphs in <p> tags.

That's all it takes. The next time you open a book it will scale the font to the desired size. If you already had a book open you'll need to load it again.

Hope this helps.
