Sony probably has little interest meddling with how publishers typeset their books, and quick consumer research experiments probably concluded that people don't want large fonts. (The way some of you said you didn't think you'd come to like large fonts.)

Anyway, while getting to customize the look of your book would've been a popular feature at the Connect store, for now I just blame Sony for not having a setting that biases the size modes (ie to be bigger or smaller). What kind of settings menu has two options, a slideshow, and the copyright?


NatCh- "Not if they actually are at fault. And particularly not if they're the only ones who can fix the problem or the ones blocking fixing the problem. I'm not saying that that is the case, just pointing out that we don't really know what the case actually is. I'm also not saying that there is no problem, there definitely is a problem with the font sizes on a lot of the books. I just think that while we're complaining loudly about it, we should keep in mind that what we think the fix is, may not be the fix."

You're quite the Buddhist monk there, but there's a reason their philosophy didn't progress much for two thousand years. Being half-right is sometimes better than speaking in wise tautologies.
