I mostly use the reader to read materials that don't exist in print form--fanfic and erotica. (Maybe that should be "fanfic and other erotica," although I do read non-slashy fanfic.) But I've sometimes set a smaller point size than I'm entirely comfortable with to avoid people on the train glancing over my shoulder and realizing what I'm reading.
Because, um. Not everyone wants their morning commute to include descriptions of naked guys getting it on. And while I don't particularly care who knows what I read--especially strangers--I don't need to actively inflict my tastes on them either, the way I would if I bumped the words up to a size that's easily readable by anyone else in a crowded train. (They don't have to read, but it's hard to unsee the words after you've glanced that direction.)
