That is what I always found very strange.

Font size 1-4 are small incremental steps, but when going from 4 to 5, the font size makes a huge jump. Evertyhing starting from size 5 is useless for me, except when I'd be using a tiny custom font.

I really think that adding font options like the Kobo's have would have been *much* better additions to the KPW2 than adding "fluff" like vocabulary flipcards and Goodreads integration. Those are just nice to have for some people, while having more font options is useful for ALL people, as it directly impacts the reading experience.

This is one of the reasons I'm not considering to go from my (good) KPW1 to a KPW2. If they had added more font capabilities, I would definitely have upgraded. The fonts are the one thing I've never been satisfied with on my Kindle Touch or Paperwhite. Even my old Cybook Gen 3 had more font options (and an official way to add custom ones).
