Hi!

I hope someone can help me with this. I've been using my Kobo Glo a lot recently and felt like switching to my Kindle Paperwhite (2nd Gen) for a variety of reasons.

I started reading on my Kindle Paperwhite and quickly realised there was no way I could adjust the font size to be comfortable for my eyes (unlike the Kobo Glo). The Kindle Paperwhite has 8 font size settings and they are all too small for me...except for the last one which is so enormous that I can't use it at all. This makes no sense to me and I don't remember it being this way before.

Is this a new problem? My Kindle Paperwhite was updated a few weeks ago, so I'm wondering if that's what has caused this?

Is there anything I can do to change this? I need something that's between the 7th and 8th font size setting.

Unless I can find a way to fix this, my Kindle Paperwhite has suddenly been rendered useless. The font size on all of my Kindle books is too small and there's no way I can use the largest font size as it's just ridiculously large.

Any help would really be appreciated.
