On my own sized books using BD, I will read with small in good light & bump up the size as the light becomes worse.
True, as several have pointed out, but I think you were the first. I debated whether I should make it a "check all that apply," but I was more interested in if users *have* a favorite mode they use most often. I find myself formatting my BD files now into a size that I read in "Medium," and it's the size of the majority of my Sony acquired books.

But mileage may vary greatly, which is why I included the last two options, too.

I format all the books I create myself such that I can read them comfortably in "small" size. I never use landscape.
Sure, they can be different... But I also find myself switching into Medium mode just out of default. I'm also wondering if anyone else finds most "Small" format too small in general - especially for content that isn't created by the user. I think I do, and it seems to be pretty consistent for me now.

When reading Connect Store books, I usually use medium as they set the small font too small most of the time.
Interesting. I usually format my BD books at 9 or 10 point, fully expecting to bump it to Medium. I suppose it shows in the books I've uploaded, also.


And thanks to everyone else so far for responding!
