The fonts were updated not too long ago. Amazon did a great job of increasing the number of larger fonts on the newer ereaders. Before I was going from a medium to giant when I needed a medium-large. I currently use a 7 or 8 on the Voyage or Paperwhites depending on how well I see that day.

On the K3 and K4, I use the 5th from the smallest.

I have vision damage, so some days I have it even larger. Typically, about 1.5 feet away.

My Mom is 83 and reads with the smallest fonts. Always amazing to me.
