Yes, AnemicOak is right. I am in the process of taking the books I want to have on my PPro, putting them in my wordprocessor, converting font size to 14 point, 4x6 page, and using the appropriate headers for chapters. I then publish to pdf, and when I bring it up on my PPro, the second and third zooms are gigantic and can be read easily with my bad eyesite.
If I ever want to learn the other publishing software, like the new Sigil or Bookdesigner, I could see if I have this kind of control in them. But converting my pdf's through Calibre, I couldn't figure out (my fault) how to keep the text size large, so I gave up. I'm perfectly happy having this kind of control over my files. Yes, it's a lot of work, but I'm the type to re-read the books I like hundreds of times. And I have difficulty reading new books because they don't keep my interest.
That is just me.

PS: AnemicOak,
though I'm often mistaken for a man, (due to being 6' tall) I am most definitely female
