I got my answer from Sony about the fonts. They said it is up to the publishers. They gave no indication that they are trying to change that or pressure the publishers. I have not had a chance to write my reply to Sony yet.
In thinking about it, I realize bookstores cannot control the size of the font in the books in their stores, but this is a different situation. Sony made the device and is controlling the store that sells the content. They get a profit from the books we buy. One book I'm reading now has, on every page, words that run together without spaces (not to mention, small text).
So, the publishers can give us garbage and Sony doesn't care? It has an impact on the acceptance of the Sony Reader.
On the other hand, maybe Sony is worried about being able to get content, so they don't push the publishers.
Over the holiday, I will find time to answer Sony.....
