You could put it that way. I look at it as I have two fixed settings I would like to switch back and forth from. The initial UI is great for finding the initial settings, but after that it would be nice to have a way to switch back and forth from those 2 fixed settings. I am not moving the slider each time trying to find what works best; I do that only once when I get a new device, and after that I just need to toggle back and forth between 2 settings.

... You misunderstood what I said, as apparently I misunderstood what @readologist. There seems to be a desire to have numbers next to all the settings. I don't see much real benefit. Most of the numbers don't carry over to other devices. I think choosing what fits you best at the time, and not worrying that it isn't your "normal" is a better way to work.
Again, you mention multiple devices. Maybe @readologist doesn't have multiple devices. Or maybe he has 2 devices, but keeps one at the same settings and only needs to adjust the other.

If you only have 2 times (like me), and the settings are the same 99% of the time, wouldn't it be easier for me if the UI made it easier to get to those two settings? For me, being able to use the +/- on the font size dialog works OK (because the font sizes are fairly close).

I can appreciate that something works well for you, but I can also understand how other people might want something that works better for them.

Or maybe Kobo could make there UI more consistent? Why are there numbers on brightness? I don't use audiobooks, but I would guess that the volume control on audiobooks has some sort of number?
