When I got my Kobo Touch, I adjusted the font to match a paperback. Then I found I liked it a little smaller. When I got the Glo, I found that I could go a little smaller than that. The range of font sizes is wide enough to go from "need a microscope" to "could use a flash card".

Does the chapter graph and time to read work if you convert an epub to kepub? I could understand that the graph is not calculated, but is coded into the kepub, but I'd expect time to read to work. It does with books side-loaded to the Kindle. I don't really mind the graph, but I did get a wee bit attached to Time to Read. I know, a paper book doesn't have that, but it's nice to know how long a book is going to take me to read. If I don't have much time, I wouldn't start a book that'd take me 40 hours.
The chapter graph works for epubs converted to kepubs. From looking at the database on the device, when you first open a kepub, it counts and stores the words in each chapter. The graphs and other calculations are based on that. I usually read epubs, but have tried a couple of purchased kepubs to see this. I like it and wish that they did the same thing for epubs.
