Either you must think that "Medium" isn't an arbitrary font size (and can't you adjust margins, line heights, fonts, etc on the sony?), or the sony changes the total page count of a text, depending on your settings.

OK, but then it should follow that it's not insane to force a square peg through a round hole (instead of the proper square hole next to the round one), even if it takes a bit of hammering.
I think both are insane, even if the job gets kinda done. Also, even insane stuff can be somewhat useful.
