I've bumped the Font Size up to its maximum of 32px in CalibReader and it's just not big enough for me. I've even turned on the iPad Accessibility option for larger font sizes, but that didn't help in the book.
My second issue is that I've got formatting set up in these books where the first line following things like a heading (h1, h2, etc.) should be "font-variant: small-caps" with "font-size: large" in the CSS (these are formatted as EPUB3). Those lines display as smallcaps, but the font size is very small. It doesn't seem to adjust to what the Font Size slider in CalibReader is set to.
The problem could lie anywhere between me and the ereader. I'm not sure if this is of any help, but here's the applicable CSS I'm using in this case:

Got it, and thanks for posting the CSS, that made it easy to see what's going on.
Two things were getting in your way. The Font Size slider tops out at 32 px, which just isn't big enough for you on the mini. And sizes a book sets with a keyword, like your font-size: large on the first line, were being worked out from the default 16 px instead of from the slider, so that line stayed small however big you set the text.
The next update raises the maximum to 64 px and makes keyword sizes follow the slider, so your small-caps first lines scale with everything else. It should be ready in a couple of days, along with a whole slew of other updates: font weight, switching between several calibre libraries, and more.
Is 64 px enough headroom on the mini, or would you go bigger still? Also, brand new mini, nice - how are you liking it? by 'base model' do you mean you do *not* have the matte screen?
