Any idea what is going on? Do different publishers have different size type?
I called Sony and eventually got to the Connect support guy, and took a long time to make him understand. He finally checked it and admitted it was smaller, but had no idea why. Great!
As I told him, the main reason I got the Reader is because I need large type to read. Now I'm stuck with a device that does not let me read and six books I bought that can't read either.Any suggestions?

For Aprilbeginnings and others who justly are questioning just what Large font sizes we are talking about, and what size they really are, I decided to measure tham as best I could.
The book "Vanguard Book One" and "Acts of Treason" that I got early on, had the Large size in the horizontal position larger than subsequent books, such as "Echo Park," etc. These were one
size smaller in the largest size.
In the former larger size, I measured the height of a capital letter "H." In the first, largest size, it was 5 mm or 6/32 of an inch.
In the rest, all smaller, the same letter was only 4 mm, or 5/32 of an inch.
That is a significant difference in type size, and accounts for my distress at not being able to get the larger size any more.
