I have a Sony PRS-350. It has many wonderful aspect but seems flawed by some really nasty failings (this is all too common with Sony products).

Font sizing is the worst. I load an epub and the medium text is tiny. But the large is huge. There is no selection that works for me. I load a different epub and this time the medium is too big but small is minute and large is gigantic.

This is literally making it impossible for me to use the PRS-350. I get used to one font size on a certain book although it is not really what I want. Then I switch to another book and all the size selections are completely different.

On my wife's Kindle when she picks a certain font size it is precisely the same on each book. In fact, it shows you an example of the font size as you are selecting.

Looking over this forum I see that many users of Sony ereaders go through incredibly complex procedures just to install readable fonts. Personally I can live with the fonts on the PRS-350 as long as I can somehow enforce a consistent font size across all ebooks.

Is this even possible on the PRS-350?
