Smaller than you can comfortably read.

It works very much like printed text... if you're comfortable reading 4pt text, you can set up your ebooks in that. (And putting letter-sized, 10pt font PDFs into the reader gets a close approximation of this.) It will display, with good contrast, text that is too small (for almost anyone) to comfortably read.

If you like small text, the biggest problem is finding books in it; the readers can make text bigger, but not smaller, and all the sources for ebooks work with either 10pt or 12pt text by default, because those appeal to the greatest number of readers. If you want 15 words per average line, you'd have to create those ebooks yourself.
