Something I recommend, being a "younger person." Many people converting books to LRF have been choosing, IMO, very large fonts for the base setting, because that is what they prefer (and they may be a little far-sighted); something to consider is that fact that the Reader has a text size changing button that can grow the font for them, unfortunately there isn't a text-shrink button for those of us that don't need size 18-pitch fonts. I swear, on the the largest setting I can read some of the books across the room. Not that you may consider this a big deal, but I prefer more time spent on reading a page than flipping to the next page to continue the action or when the PB-version of a book is 350 pages and the Reader version is 1000+ (really demotivates a reader who wants to eventually finish a book and sees that they have 750 pages to go!).

Sorry, just had to get a little input out there. Remember to use your resize button wisely.

Please have a look at the book Little Fuzzy that I formatted. I wuld like to know if you think the base font is too large or not. I upped it to 11 point from Book Designer's default of 10 point. if you think it's too large, I can back it down to 10 point and post another copy in the same thread for you to have a look at.
