So it's equivalent to a browser's Zoom setting: i.e. 25 would be equivalent to 25% zoom. Do kePubs alter this setting or just specify something markedly different in their own css? Perhaps, like a browser, the UI should have a button to return to default zoom (100%).

If the ebook CSS sets 0.875em, the effective font size would be 21.875.

Ahh, so it
is visible somewhere. If it gets way off, is it ok to just edit that file back to the preferred zoom (obviously carefully and with no book open) ? The multiple screen flashes (after clicking +/- before the resized text appears) gets annoying if you need to do several readjustments before getting to the preferred size. (I suspect it got off when looking at a few previews that were displaying gigantic text.)

IMO displaying the bulk of text at the user's preferred size is the only sensible way. But I'm not here to debate that. We should be able to override the author's setting; that's what user stylesheets and the !important property are for.
