How to change the font size on a Kindle

When it comes to reading, the typeface and size used can really make all the difference in terms of a comfortable experience. After all, you don’t want to have tiny font if you have to strain your eyes, and you don’t want a large font if you want as much text as possible on the screen at once to reduce page turns.

Step 1: Navigate to your Library on your Kindle device.

Step 2: Select a book you want to read.

Step 3: Tap the top of the screen to bring up the menu interface.

Step 4: Select the Book text settings from the menubar. This is the option that looks like “Aa.”

Step 5: Select Font.

Step 6: Select Font family if you want to change the typeface. The default option is Bookerly, but there are eight more options to pick from, including a font designed to improve readability for people with dyslexia (OpenDyslexic).

Step 7: Select minus (-) or plus (+) if you want to increase the Bold setting.

Step 8: Under Size, select the minus (-) or plus (+) to increase or decrease Font size.

Step 9: Tap anywhere outside of the settings box to exit.

In addition to adjusting the font and size, you can also adjust the theme or layout of your books. On a Kindle, a theme is like a preset setting for the font size and layout, but these can be tweaked to your own personalized needs too.

Step 1: Navigate to your Library on your Kindle device.

Step 2: Select a book you want to read.

Step 3: Tap the top of the screen to bring up the menu interface.

Step 4: Select the Book text settings from the menubar. This is the option that looks like “Aa.”

Step 5: Select Layout.

Step 6: Select your orientation, alignment, margins, and spacing from the available options.

Step 7: Select Theme from the menu.

Step 8: You can select a preset theme that will override other font and layout settings. If you made other changes, it will appear as a Custom theme.
