Quick answer
For font size, change the smallest thing that affects readability first. Test it before touching color, margins, or motion.
Font size changes how many words fit on a line and how often your eyes move across the screen.
First change to try
Increase text one step and read a full paragraph. If lines become too short, reduce margins before increasing text again.
Use a real chapter, not only a settings preview.
Second change to try
If the first change is not enough, adjust line spacing or margins next.
Avoid adding several strong visual changes at once.
How to compare
Use the same page before and after the change. Read for five minutes, not five seconds.
Keep the option that reduces re-reading and line loss.
When to stop
Stop adjusting when the page is comfortable. More customization is not automatically better.
A stable setup is often easier to read with than a constantly changing one.
Detailed troubleshooting checklist
