That doesn't require any rooting, nor does installing Mantano Reader, or any other reader app, on the HDX. You might have to use another Android device to get the app file, but it will install after you side load it to the HDX. Mantano is my favorite independent Android reader app, but there is also FBReader, CoolReader, and others available that are pretty good.
It depends how small he wants the HDX can get pretty small but he would need to know the point size he wants and he will have to adjust it in the style sheet on each style. The HDX will not recognize the way Calibre does it which add it to the Calibre style which is only works on styles not specified.

Moon+ Reader Pro is the one I just switched too. It's awesome The interface could be better but the Reader itself beats Mantano hands down and it's got Time Left to Read just like Kindle!!! You can customize so much in Moon+ You can get the perfect font size with it that one thing Mantano always has trouble with too big of a jump between sizes while Moon+ goes by Point so if you want 20pt 0r 21pt size font you can have that easy. You can adjust paragraph spacing and line height and so much more. I bought the Pro as I can't read on my HDX till I tried this app that blue border is just too annoying to use the Kindle Reader.
