The B&N stock reader font sizes were always stupid. From the days of the Nook Simple Touch until this new device they have basically stayed the same, except now the super large sizes have been stretched further and the addition of an 8th even stupider font size.

Back in the days of the NST I wrote a patch for this. It's still available on my website. I never got around to writing one for the Glows as I stopped using the stock reader long ago. The problem with patching is that you have to re-sign them which basically makes them a non-system app. The latest device also has this obfuscated (not that that's a biggie). It can be plainly found in smali\com\bn\nook\reader\commonui\ReaderCommonUICo nstants$3.smali in the earlier Glows and smali_classes2\com\bn\nook\reader\util\h0.smali in the latest.
