The way I described things would be more difficult to implement. But once done, there would never be any need for such to be done again.
You're right about the code. All that is necessary is to add an extra number(s) in the existing font-change UI option. As you say, that number will be passed along to the existing font rendering process.

The problem lies in the lack of space available to insert another AA in the font-choice UI. They could fit an extra one in there, but it would be tight and ugly. Alternatively they could just put a big or small 'A' instead of both. Ick. The whole thing is horrible. They should just change it to an increment and decrement "button." It seems it's too much work for them.

Maybe Amazon is waiting to overhaul its aging and increasingly lack-luster UI. Presumably they'll introduce better font gradation at that time. For now, they appear to have other priorities.
