> Menus are HUGE on a 1920x1080 display.

The resolution of the display doesn't matter. It matters its DPI. A 2k screen with high DPI (say 400+ PPI) will look okayish without any change. The typical fullHD 32" monitor will look way oversized since it has less than 70PPI.

Anyways, you can tune it from Settings->Screen->DPI. Once you setup the UI the size you want you won't need to change it anymore.

Default/auto values are probably okay for most e-ink ereaders up to 8". 10-13" ereaders might need to downscale ui size.
