I open Calibre, select preferences - and I have no idea what to do next. Can someone give me a step by step (in layman terms with explanations of what you are talking about) so that I can go to convert book and change the font size to a nice large one. Then how do I save it so that it drops into the 650.

Can I fix Calibre so that it will automatically do that everytime I convert a book.

I'm 76 years old and have absolutely no idea what metadata is or many of the other terms. Eyes are getting older and I need large print.

Thanks for helping me. If I haven't explained this so that you know what I'm trying to do, please ask questions so I can tell it another way.

You will get lots of help, so keep asking if you don't understand something. Most ereaders will let you set the font size. You don't have to do it in the book. Start there. I'm sure someone can tell you how to do it with the sony 650.

Some books might need special treatment to make sure the ereader can change the font, but most books will work fine. You may want to control relative font sizes - titles are larger than the paragraph body text. That you can do in calibre.
