Thanks Kartu.

But I don't understand ... I mean, the reader already handles text scaling in EPUB by default, like in LRF. The user experience is the same, although maybe internally it is handled by different processes, I guess??

What I would like is to keep having the same user experience in both LRF and EPUB after tweaking the default scaling factors. So for my EPUB I set a base CSS with my preferred font and size, but when I get a bit tired, currently I have two options:
- choose another CSS file with a bit larger font size
- more comfortable -> press zoom and accept that i will get the reader's default scaling factor, which is probably larger than I need -> is not possibe to tweak this scaling factors to match LRF custom settings?

I'm just saying, the user experience would be more consistent if the custom scaling steps could be set for ALL the books, whatever format.
I can't imagine my mother trying to figure out if this one book is LRF or ePUB so she can decide the best way to enlarge text to a readable size whenever she gets tired eyes...

I was just wondering if maybe you have not implemented it, because probably tweaking the scaling behaviour for EPUB is just too hard, or even impossible...

Thanks
