Maybe I'm just different, but I like smaller font sizes. It makes it easier to take in more text quicker and do it with less scrolling. I am 26 though. I'll probably change that opinion when I'm 40. I think having the browser zoomed out one level looks best to me on some sites.



I'm 41 and I've not changed my mind yet. But I guess I've been lucky with my eyesight so far.


I'm also 41, and I've recently had to take my glasses (for near-sightedness) off for anything at reading distance.

But I still prefer the smallest fonts on my e-reader, and relatively small fonts on my iPad and laptop computer.

While I don't mind larger fonts at 16px, I'm not willing to make that tradeoff for improved readability vs. not having to scroll as much.
