One thing I'm having some trouble dealing with is font size, which appears different in every book I try. I adjust it in the settings, go to another book and it's often either very small or very large. I was hoping the reader would somehow save the reading settings for individual books. Then again, I'm new to the interface, so maybe I just don't know what I'm doing yet.
The device does store the font size for a book if you change it. When you change the setting, the font size you choose is saved for that book, and saved as the default for the next book. If you change the font size, close the book, open another and change the font size, when you return to the first book, it should use the font size you chose for it. This means that any book that you set the font for, will remember that font. But, any new book, or book that you didn't set the font for, will use the last font setting that you chose.

But, unfortunately, kepubs and epubs use a different font scaling. For any size chosen in an epub, the kepub will appear to be using a much smaller font size. If you are swapping between epubs and kepubs, it means you need to adjust the font size for each. I think there is a patch to fix it, but, I'm not sure.

Edit - I should have said:

It also could be that the font size is different for each book. There are a lot some badly constructed books out there that set the font size in strange ways. This can mean that each book will show text in different sizes when opened. Some are easy to fix, some not so easy. Sometimes it is a deliberate design, and sometimes it is the tool used to produce the ebook that causes it.
