My aging eyeballs don't read 4 point anymore, but I'm still happy with
fairly small print unless I'm also tired.

I once tried reading a book on the txt reader on my non-smart 2008
phone with the 2.2 inch screen.  It might have gone better if the
notepad software was more capable.

I'm comfortable enough on my standard shirt-pocket phone that I've
stopped reading bulky paperbacks entirely.  (Nokia X8, MagiCube (that
even Google had never heard of), MotoLuxe, Samsung S2, Samsung S5).
The Nokia 5310 was a failed experiment.
