Thanks, William and all the others. As pointed out, WinXP does have several features that enlarge the icons, text, menus, etc, all of which I've used. These work very well.

Also, while online with Firefox, all one has to do is hit CTRL and the + key, and the entire screen is enlarged, as many times as one desires. Ditto with a minus key to reduce.

So, this solves all my online and offline problems. Still, with good old Sony's software, both the Reader program and the store, there is no way at all to make the type or images any larger.

I guess nobody at Sony ever bothers to use the system or try it out. As I noted in the OP, it is ironic, inasmuch as they tout the Reader's large type as being helpful to the vision impaired. Ah, well...
