Nook STR can zoom the page?
Is in this device a method to zoom the page? because a book that i have doesn't increase the text and so if i can zoom the problem doesn't exist?? Thanks

As far as I can tell, there is no way to zoom in or out on the text with the STR. If the book you are reading does not allow text enlargement, you are stuck, IMHO. The only thing you could do is alter the epub file with Sigil and make it allow the font enlargement. It takes some technical ability, namely HTML and CSS knowledge, to do this.

You can adjust the font size in the default PDF viewer, for what it's worth. I don't have my Nook with me to see if the same thing works in the ePub reader.

It works with ePubs, but the problem is that an ePub that is badly authored (too common at this point) can do things which break dynamic font-sizes and other things that are common among eReaders.

I can set fixed font sizes, and even fixed fonts in ePub and the reader will happily render it as I tell it to, even though it probably shouldn't.

Another example of how this is bad is that I've run across books that set font-sizes as percents and set the body to be smaller or larger than the font size the user has selected. Can't really block an ePub from doing that (how do you do captions/etc otherwise?), but the body text is annoyingly the wrong size because of it.
