Do you read childrens' books? :) Well, you are correct, but again it depends on the size of the font on the book, right? Normal book or magazine text seems to be slightly larger than HN test on screen when viewed on "normal" reading distance.

Well, of course, but the book I was referring to was a UK Penguin fiction paperback - pretty much as 'standard' as it gets, although I don't know about international variations.
