Layout size is barely larger, and only effects a select few things. You'd really expect more on this front. Some UI fonts are very small on Scribe. It's a fairly large device, and can be used at greater distance from the eyes. I find current page and progress percentage fonts just right, but I really wouldn't mind options to have them larger, and smaller. Though, by Amazon standards, they'll increase all system fonts by 200% with no option to reverse that in the next update.
It seems Layout size is a Scribe-only feature, and it is in Accessibility now. It affects all system text in Home/Library/Notebooks/More, but not anything in the reading UI.

But none of my Kindles (running 5.16.6) show Display Settings under Device options. Was that where it was with previous version?
