I recently purchased a CyBook for my mother, who has macular degeneration and requires about 48 point type to read comfortably.

The UBook reader supports large type, up to 64 points, but it does not support digital rights management.

The Mobi reader does support DRM, but I can't figure out any way to change its built-in font sizes, which seem to max out at around 16 or 18 points.

Am I overlooking something here?

P.S. Other than this issue, the CyBook has put a big smile on my mother's face! Now she can read in her favorite easy chair, or at the hair dresser's. This is a woman who has always avoided computers completely, even bank ATMs, and she was comfortably reading her CyBook the same day she received it.
