That was why I was excited to get the Aura, so that there was a bigger screen and I could have more words on a page. You would think that 24 font sizes would be a great feature until you actually start checking them out. The first 10 to 15 font sizes are not readable even to a person with great vision. They are useless! And the biggest font sizes are still small in comparison to the biggest font sizes on the Touch. The fact is that my Touch had many more options for big font sizes. I really hope that they fix this problem with the Aura. Can anyone find any use for the first half of the font sizes on the Aura????

On my Aura running firmware 2.6.1 and an epub with the default font size set to 1 em, I get 12 lines per page with the text being about 1.2cm (1/2 inch) high. On a .kepub from Kobo, I get around 18 lines per page and the text is about .6cm (1/4 inch) tall -- the gap between the lines is much wider on the .kepub as well.
Are you reading epubs or .kepub.epub (the library will show them as Kobo epubs)? If non-DRMed, you can change the font settings using various tools.
