Ok, I'm getting old, and my eyesight is not what it was.. but still

Does anyone else feel that the 'small' fontsize in epub is too small, and the next step up is too large to read comfortably ?

I just upgraded my Hanlin to the latest firmware (needed it because a book I wanted was only available in DRM -epub... How I'm going to deal with my collection of DRM-ed Mobipockets is anyones guess ). I now need new reading glasses to read my new purchase. Older epubs which were previously fine now also are too small to read. Switching up a zoom factor is not really a help, since that font is too large for my purposes.

MobiPocket files are fine, I can read them without problems, even at the smallest font size.

Is there anyway to fix this ? Can I just hack into the epub format and replace the stylesheet to produce a larger font (Or is there perhaps a global system-wide stylesheet that I can tweak ?)

If so, does anyone have some css code to set the default font size for the whole document.. My css is a little rusty ;-)

Thanks,
TimT.
