I much prefer the current HN smartphone experience to some stupid thing that displays one comment at a time in a huge font and is missing half the options.

It does suck on non-smartphones phones, but nobody cares about that anyway.

I just want to remove the need to zoom, and make it a little more readable
It looks fine on the iPhone 5 http://imgur.com/i3fEdol

No massive text size , more than 5 words per line ,etc

The default HN experience isn't so great on Android's browser...

double-tap to zoom and all is good.
zooms till the image's 3.5 inches

Personally I couldn't read that at all at smartphone size from 1.5 feet away (distance to hand).

And now something has changed which makes the text massive.
My Windows Phone 8 (Lumia 928) shows HN perfectly.
Ha! Mine too.

Although I'm running on the Nokia 822. I actually just run the RSS through NextGen reader and the layout is super clean and has easy navigation for the comments.
