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.

We didn't see any use in having even bigger text, but this is just a limitation of the GUI. There is no technical reason not to have bigger font sizes. If there are people that do need bigger font sizes, that would be very easy to add.
The font-face is limited by fonts that we can freely distribute without paying royalties. Installing new fonts is very easy. I'm sure someone like Adam B. could create an installer for that quite easily.
