Fictionwise is using Libprs500 to convert and it does fill the screen if it can.

Font measurements

Using a 24" HD LCD Monitor and Sony eBook Library to view a page in SMALL fonts and 2 pages displayed on the screen, I measured each font at 5 mm.

Using the Sony PRS 505 Reader in portrait mode with LARGE fonts, I measured each font at 2 mm.

There is definitely a difference in SIZE. It is not perception.

The eBook Library shows the same amount of text on a page as the "real" Reader does. Since the page is larger on a big monitor, naturally the letters are larger too.
