One of the things that you can do with calibre is change the intial font size of each file you convert.

My experience has been that the large font size on my 505 is usually readable, so I don't generally bother with using calibre to change the font size unless I've decided to also use it to translate a file into epub.

But when I do convert, I chose 16 as my base font size. I haven't played around with this, but I think that the result is that all the font sizes for the document are kicked up a notch when you do this. So it should be possible for anyone to identify a useful font size set, playing off a base size established via calibre.

In addition, if you find that the largest of the three font sizes you have for a particular document on your 505 is a tad too small, you can go into landscape mode (just hold down the font button for a few seconds) & you will find that the landscape orientation shows up in a fourth, larger, font size.
