You would think a slider setting would be the way to go. Perhaps it has to do with the early days of E-ink and our lack of technological know-how in working with it? Or limitations of the screen and E-ink technology itself?
I guess that 1) those developers read on tablets/iPads themselves, or don't read books at all

and 2) they imagine that most of the users of the dedicated ereaders are old and/or disabled people who need large font sizes. Because why would a young and healthy person want to read on eink?
