They're wrong. I just comapred them myself, on the largest font size, same page, same book. The font size is the same. Yes, you get more words and lines per page because the Kindle DX has a larger screen, morons.

One interesting note: You can't use Alt-Shift-N to adjust line spacing on the Kindle DX, because you have to hit Alt to access numbers in the first place. So you're stuck with the defauly line spacing, which is about 4 (I prefer 2 on my Kindle 2.) Once you adjust the line spacing on each to be the same you'll see the fonts are the same size.
