How does one find out the base font size in each book? Size 6 in Helvetica seems to be a good compromise for me for all my books. My right eye is cataract impaired and I can read eBooks perfectly with it on all my Kindles. Both eyes are Macular impaired and I have good distance and near vision with both.
Maybe 6 is my lucky number. My doctor tells me the brain has to interpret what we see and my brain is in some way compensating for the physical eye defects between the eyes and blocking different defects in each eye. Reading may be partly psychological and subject to brain filtration.
I've never used eye glasses and after nearly 100 years my brain / eye coordination appears to have adjusted on its own to all the problems others have solved by glasses and surgery. Maybe that is why I have never seen any screen defects on any of the Kindles I've owned.
