   Yes, there sure is a wide variety of different fonts and such in printed   
   books from huge to almost unreadable 'bible print'. That's one advantage   
   of eReaders, you can generally change the font size to please yourself.   
      
   I have a computer obviously, plus a Phone, Tablet and eReader, all able   
   to read almost any format of eBooks, and most of the time I will choose   
   the Tablet to read from. The lesser battery life can be annoying at times,   
   and it's heavier, but I like the back-lit screen and the larger format   
   that puts more on each 'page'..
