Switching to the next line is easy enough. Switching more often to a new page due to less text on the screen, not quite so easy. Out of a perhaps morbid curiosity, can you give a source for your opinion on German readers and their choices in font size?

As mentioned, the Aura One allows a larger font for the same amount of text on the screen. Using the same font size on each device leaves the Clara HD with less text on the screen.

The person to whom you replied is from France not Wales. Nothing to do with the OP. Quite possibly anacreon reads poetry and German prose.

As I said, "amount of text on screen". I can use a larger font on my Aura One for the same amount of text on the screen. For those of us who are staring multifocal lenses in the eye, that can be an advantage. For those who have more elastic lenses, being able to have more text on the larger screen with the same font size as used on the smaller screen can also be an advantage.
