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'..
