The larger screen should allow significantly larger fonts. However, I think TOPAZ ebooks have exactly 6 font sizes hardwired as bitmaps in the document. These will be 10% larger based on the pixel density (150 ppi vs 166 ppi on the Kindle 2). There is no reason why AZW/MOBI ebooks can't have more than 6 font size options though.
