I'm merely suggesting that the eReader should give the user feedback when the sliders are used with no visible effect. I'm not suggesting a fundamental paradigm shift.

Yes, I have done exactly that only to discover that all is not as it seems re-the line height and fonts. Again I blame the lack of feedback from the software.

I note your point, but I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the line height issues, which I've subsequently discovered can be rectified by adding a line command to the CSS remove thingy. Trust me it isn't obvious to click and play users like me of whom there are many I'm sure.
