Hi everyone,

I actually like my new Kindle Paperwhite, but have one issue: font sizes. I don't understand why the paper white has so many microscopic font sizes and so few reasonable font sizes. It's as if it was developed for people who use a magnifying glass in order to read.

I am middle aged and pretty presbyopic so on my Nook Touch use the second to largest font size, which is perfect. But on the PW, the second to largest font is too small, and the largest is too big.

How would I use the program Caliber in order to reformat my books to give me better font size options? Ideally, I would like a font size between the second to largest font and the largest font.

I've never done this before using caliber, so would appreciate detailed instructions. Is there a magic font rescaling set of numbers that would give me the options I want?

Thanks so much for your help!
