Hi all /wave

Im in the process of tring to reformat / edit a lot of books and have a basic question.

WHAT is the ideal font type / size to format the text in ( I use Word and save in RTF for archive etc ).

Reason im asking is that ive edited a lot of books formatting them using Ariel font, size 12.

Ive just recently tried to load in some, they convert over fine and I move em to my bookwise and start to read and have the following issue:

1) I get a couple of strange formatting marks at the front of paragraphs, not the major problem tho.

2) My books wont change size INSIDE the ebookwise ( selecting the increase / decrease text size ), it stays the same size with only a small shift in margins.

I know this isnt the way it SHOULD be as Ive read some other books and im able to increase the font size to make them easier to read.

So, basic question is, what font would you recommend and what size ?

I do use glasses and wouldnt mind a slightly larger font size when I read.
