Any tips for this?
In a CSS sheet, try this

body {font-size: 120%}

That should work!

Try a few different percentages to see what size you prefer. I don't know if this works on the Sony, but it does work on ADE so I guess it will work on a Sony, as well!

Please be advised, though, that converting directly from PDF still is not really a good idea (convert your PDF to txt or html first before converting it to ePub)
