I'm the same way. It's not that I can't read the smaller fonts, but the page can look cluttered to me and it's easy for me to lose my place. I don't know if I'm just a bit distractable or what, lol.

I was almost one of those "finger readers." I'd have my finger on the paragraph below where I was to keep my place. I do a similar thing when reading a bunch of text online. I highlight the paragraph above where I am to help me keep my place.

My font size on my KT is much bigger than most paper books - about the size of children's novels. And I find it much easier to keep my place.

My eyes aren't that bad. I'm a bit near-sighted, but I can read just fine with or without glasses. I just find it easier to orient myself on a page with a bigger font. I had no idea I preferred that until I had an ereader.

It's definitely a better experience to me than a dead tree book, overall. I'm reading more and it's a hell of a lot lighter than hauling books around!

I'm not going back. And I suspect as time goes on I'll have fewer and fewer paper books.
