So... what sounds like a big improvement does not really work out as a biggie, sir, in my very humble opinion.

I have to believe that your assessment and opinion are based on the fact that you have normal vision. Someone with a vision disability might choose to disagree with you. Even if one does get fewer words on the page, the large font sizes can make the difference between using or being closed out of the device.
I think I'd like to have some options other than "double the font size". Whether that's in percentages or just increments isn't that much of a big deal. My Kindle has 6 font sizes. Just eyeballing the font-selection menu, it appears that font #6 is about 4x font #1 -- based on the height of the upper-case letters. As shipped, the default font size is #3. Font #1 is generally too small for me to be comfortable, even in the best of lighting, so I keep my Kindle set on #2. When I'm reading under reduced lighting, I'll increase the font size to #3 or #4.
