Why do we have only 8 fixed font sizes? Why can't the font be changed by one
point increments. Because they want to keep the UI as simple as possible.
This is the case of the UI dictating function rather than the other way around.
It's not a technical problem. They could make small changed to the Aa page. They could keep it as is and add an advanced page for more tweaking. They could put the settings in an editable text file so people who want fine adjustment can get what they want. They just don't want to bother. Because touting "any font size / margin / line / you want" isn't as sexy as stuff like X-ray or social media.

Unfortunately, it looks like Amazon is going to shut the door on the font hack for the PW1 the way they did on the PW2. And earlier Amazon shut the ability to force smaller margins like the K3 allowed. But the truth is that Amazon never allowed any of those things. They just happened because hackers figured out how to do them. Amazon moved to shut the doors on those hacks.
