ePub can of course reflow for different screen sizes, but providing three distinct fonts on every reading device seems to require embedding with horrendous complications.

As many will have already guessed, the novel is _The Interior Life_ by "Katherine Blake" (Dorothy J Heydt).
Was not able to find the actual sample page but there on Amazon it says:

Product Dimensions: 6.7 x 3.9 x 0.9 inches

So instead of reflowing, it should also be readable on every 6" reader in portraite with or without its margins cropped, or on the smaller screens in landscape mode.

If our ereader lacks good pdf zooming options or is slow at it, a great tool that can easily crop the pdf and adjust for landscape or portraite screen size (and much more) is written by certain user here called Willus
