There is a work around - refine the base font size to a number above 3 (I suppose this is actually overriding the default in every paragraph, rather than redefining the default). This is what the large print Kindle ebooks do (see post #6 above). They actually define the default to be 7, but it would be better to have used 4 or 5. The side effect of this is that the base font will be larger than expected by the reader (larger than in other ebooks). So they may have to reset their default font size for these ebooks.
