Font size on Kindle

[the_callant]

As I have aged my eyesight has deteriorate. One of the things that originally drew me to using an ebook reader was the ability to change the font size on the book I was reading. When I switched to kindle from using a Sony things got even better. I have had a few kindles over the years and currently own an Oasis, a Paper white and a Scribe.
I am now finding it difficult on my Scribe to read the menu text and the information in the headers and footers of the pages, especially things like page numbers and progress. Is there any way of increasing the font size of these items? They seem even smaller on the Scribe than my other kindles.

You can buy a Kobo Reader as there is a way to set the OS font size to something larger. I forget how, but it is in the Kobo forum or you can ask. Also, a Kobo has many more font sizes available so you can better choose a size that fits your needs.
