Maybe I'm just lucky, but on the complaints about font size, I don't think I would want a 3.5 font size. it would likely be too small for me (though I wouldn't complain if they decided to add more font sizes, I just wouldn't use them).

I'm fussy about it too. And I don't quite understand why the software developers, or whoever makes these decisions set the font sizing ramps the way they do. It seems like most of them will go from very small to way too large in between numbers somewhere in the ranges with every major manufacturer with a few exceptions like Kobo, which has a slider type of setting. You would think a slider setting would be the way to go. Perhaps it has to do with the early days of E-ink and our lack of technological know-how in working with it? Or limitations of the screen and E-ink technology itself?
Anyways, looks like my optimal settings are 26 lines, both on the Kobo and the Pocketbook Touch HD3 with Chareink font. 24 lines with Literata Book font. Although at night I'll bump the font size up a little sometimes, if I'm tired. Chareink seems easier to read at a smaller size than most other fonts.
