Then from there you get to change it. Now if you have an eBook that has no font specified, you can have the last used font size or an option to use the default size.

That's logical and makes a lot of sense.
And that is what the Kobo does when I open a book that has not been previously opened -- it inherits the font settings from the previous book. That is the reason why I tend to edit my ebooks so all of them have specify the body font as 1 em. If I open an ebook with with the font size specified as 109% (same as 1.09 em), I have to reduce the font size to give me the size on screen that I'm comfortable reading.

Yet more fun when the publisher specifies the font size in pixels. I had one of those that was comfortable to read on the Touch with it's 600x800 screen, a bit small on the Glo with it's 758x1024 screen and uncomfortable to read on the Aura with it's 1080x1440 screen. After editing it to change all the pixel size references to em's, it now looks much the same on all three.
