Luigi,

The Cybook allows for fonts between 6pt and 36pt. Really! At the smallest font, even wearing prescription reading glasses won't help all that much. And at 36pt, the characters are 1/2-inch tall. As for the Netronix EB-100, the same as the Astak Mentor in the 6" display, you get to choose between approximately 12pt to 24pt - from what I can eyeball. Again, a fairly decent range of font sizes. I'm not sure how to change font styles on the Netronix, but on the Cybook, it's just a matter of downloading a TrueType font family to the Fonts directory on the device. I've taken off some of the TT fonts that came with it which I didn't like and replaced them with TT fonts that I prefer.
