Why can't Sony allow the user to have a one or two size step up in font size, rather than what appears to be a 5 step increase per each size choice? Would it really be that hard to update the software to accomplish this?
Agreed. Sometimes it's difficult to get just the right font size for what you're reading.

I like the fact that on my PocketBook 360 I can change the font for .epub files anyway and the size in increments of 2 points using the supplied FBReader software. The Reading software is not as polished with the formatting but the fact you can customise it so much is a big bonus. Wish you could do all that on the Sony.
