Medium is a "specific" font size which the reader labels as "medium". I am sure internally it equates to a specific point size.

Yes, the total page count is adjusted based on the 3 font sizes available. I also don't see a problem with that.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I don't see why adjusting the total page count is a problem since the total page count DOES change as the font size changes.

If you pick up a HardCover copy of a book and a softcover property of the same book and a large print version of the same book, I bet you that ALL 3 will have different number of pages and page 150 will have different text in each one. Is this in any way confusing to you?

Although I still think the definition of insane isn't: "msundman doesn't agree with it."
