trekk,

I am using those numbers (Aura HD):

cr3.app.ui.default.font.size=15
cr3.app.ui.openfile.font.size=7
cr3.app.ui.recent.font.size=7

I tried even 6 - easy to read, but a bit more difficult to tap.

As to margins 80 in landscape:
I think I am using a smaller font size (Amasis30 @ size 32 - corresponds to size 20 with Kobo native reader).
I see in your picture 21 lines of text in landscape. On my screen I count 27 lines.
In portrait I have 36 lines.

The optimal width of text depends on the font size. The larger the font - the longer the line of text should be, and vice versa.
So with my font size landscape requires about 200-300, not 80.
In portrait I am using 8.5 - 8.8 cm text width (exactly as in mass marked paperbacks).
In landscape I would like to try 9 cm - 10 cm - 11 cm but no more. With margins = 100 I get 11.8 cm - the lines are too long for the font size.
Good thing, Sergey agreed to increase the max values, so I will be able to test it.

I don't think I will need landscape on Aura HD (I need landscape with 6" screen),
but in landscape it is so much easier to hold the reader in your hand, with the cover folded back and the reader just hanging on your fingers.
