I second the motion.
While 10 pt is excellent on paper and maybe even on large backlighted
displays, we have to take into account that the contrast on the Newton is
less than black print on white paper. It enhances the experience if the
eyes don't get strained too much, thus it's recommendable to do Newton
books in 12 pt fonts, with headers and titles maybe in 14 pt. Larger fonts
compensate for the glare and suboptimal viewing conditions.
Cheers,
DJV.
