The initial size when you open the book should be whatever size you last set. If you had it set to 12 before applying the patch it will still be set at 12 after the patch has been applied, until you change it.

But if that is not what you mean then I don't know what is happening, it works on my Glo and from what I can tell in the code the AuraHD should start at the same size as the Glo, but I have no way to test on any device other than a Glo.

To test if the patch is active you can try counting the number of positions on the slider, i.e. start at the smallest size and press + until you reach the end. If the patch has been applied with the size starting at 18 then there should be 44 positions on the AuraHD, or 50 if the patch hasn't been applied.

Edit: Another possibility is that the The AuraHD and H2O are using the GloHD settings, if that was the case then the slider would have 48 positions, starting at size 14.

Edit2: Also the best way to check for sure what font size has been set by the slider is to look at the value of readingFontSize that gets saved in the device's configuration file, as the publisher can change the base font size for the book.

Edit3: After looking at what you wrote again, it might just be that the patch doesn't do what you think it does. All this patch does is change the font sizes that can be selected from the slider. The font size you select from the slider is not necessarily the size that appears on the screen, as that depends on the book's stylesheet. So if you select a font size of 18px, one book might display it as 18px, another might display it as 24px, another as 15px, depending on what base size the publisher has used for the book. If you are trying to get the fonts to be the same size in all your books then you can't do that with a patch, you would need to edit each book and make the base font size to the same value.
