No for books that I read with Fbreader (zipped txt, zipped rtf, html zipped or not, opf, unencrypted prc). The text flows to whatever size you choose for display. I have a 22 Sans Seriff font and it displays about 170 words per full screen page at a very comfortable size, yellow on dark background (because the screen is very crisp it works beautifully, on my lcd pc screens I cannot duplicate the effect so I read regular black on white - on my tablet MsReader but not uBook gets closer to that effect in yellow/black). You toggle the place bar in out with buttons, and you can switch to the last book, library, and more generally customize your buttons so you do not have to use the pen often. Just slide the cover off and read, slide the cover on and put it back in the pocket, so it's practicable to read when you have only a minute or two.
For pdf's of course it depends, but anyway they are too slow for my taste so I do not use them. I just make the non-ocr scans as 800x480 jpg's, page to Nokia screen (or rarely half page to Nokia screen) at relative low quality for space purpose and embed them in a blank html file, and then use Fbreader and it's fast again.
I never use Nokia for anything else (like Web surfing), just as an ereader.
