You probably would do just as fine all the time by using your nighttime font size during the day. I am happy for you that your H2O does everything you want including the seamless font sizes.

Yes, I did note the "you may want to". I was just trying to say that fine distinction between text sizes, in my opinion, should not be a top priority for a buying decision unnless you need extreme large font (even bigger than a large print paper book). Many reasons for eyes getting tired, so why chance a very small size to add to all the other factors?

Maybe it is just me being too lazy to change settings all the time - I rather find one setting that will work for every use case for me. Set it and leave it. I end up setting it where I can still read comfortably with tired eyes. Nobody is going to look over my shoulder and laugh at me for reading at a little bigger size than necessary with fresh eyes. Quite frankly, if you can imagine yourself setting it and leaving it, then it doesn't matter one bit how much smaller or bigger the next size is.

There is still no perfect ereader out there for everybody - compromises will have to be made at some point.
