When I converted the odt to epub in calibre, the viewer sized the font at 14 but when I viewed it in my Sony, it didn't change at all.
I suspect I'm going to have to go into the epub by first changing the extension to zip and extracting the components. My question is: What do I change? There must be something that gives the base font size.
When I opened the converted epub I looked at "stylesheet.css" and this is what I saw:
Code:
display: block;
font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;
font-size: 1.2em;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-top: 0
You see, the font-size says 1.2em which is aout 14 points, but that isn't what my reader gives me.
Thanks,

I use that value in the CSS and use the (font) Zoom level 3 setting on my reader (there are a few more larger for when I catch up to Fizzywater
)
I believe the Sony uses a similar version of ADE . There should be a size option on the menu. Note: this is a per book setting that is stored along with 'last read' location
