This is very disapointing, since this is exactly the same largest font size as on the iLiad. In fact the default font looks better (bolder) on the iLiad, see the attached screenshot. We really need FBReader, which has no such limit on the font size and can use better fonts as well. The DR is 1.33x larger than the iLiad, so at a minimum the largest font could be about 54 pt. I tried 48pt on the iLiad in landscape mode with FBReader, and it was very usable (it would be better still on the DR in portrait mode because there would be more lines per page). Most likely 72pt (1 inch nominal font height) would be ok on the DR in landscape mode.

For PDFs, you could try FeebBook's custom PDF option to see how large fonts would look. I don't know if they have a native landscape option though (I guess making the paqe size to be wider than it is high would do).
