In other words is there a big jump from one font size to another? I saw this mentioned with the current Sonys.

The new Sony is nice, but I know I'll never buy anything from their bookstore as they generally don't have what I want, including many fiction titles. So, I'm not even gonna bother going back to them at this time. Also, the Android app is sub-par.

I guess I'm just trying to talk myself into making the purchase.
There is a very simple mod that lets you set the margin as close to edge as you like. The default smallest margin is 40 pixels but I prefer 20. This is accomplished by editing a text file named 'reader.prefs'.

All bets are off as to whether this will work on future Kindle devices, of course...
