It would be oh-so-handy to be able to select a number that is close to what I generally read at, then fine adjust from there. My eyes are touchy, and get tired easily, so I need to fiddle with font size frequently.

I don't think showing numbers would do any good since the sliders have no idea what the CSS in the ebook will do to the font size for instance. Unless every epub you read has exactly the same font sizes specified, any relationship between those numbers and what you see on screen will change with the CSS.
One recent book I was reading used 0.789em as the default font size (defined in the body and everywhere else (p, div, blockquote, etc.). The header tags were the only place that a different font size was specified and even that was relative to the body definition. I corrected this by a hack and slash job on the CSS but that's not an option most people would use.
