I have two books in .epub and .mobi fromats, respectively, but I've no handheld devices of any kind which these are typically read in, I intend to read them off my desktop computer. I downloaded Sumatra, which is a program that can open these, however the issue is I have quite a large monitor with a large resolution and I sit far away from it and so the font in sumatra is waay to tiny. I need a program that offers a zoom option or, preferably, and option to choose font size.

Does anyone know of any such program?

I have a couple of .epub format documents, and I was able to install an add-on to Firefox that allows me to read them through my web-browser.

But could you zoom in or enlarge the fonts? BEcause I have this issue that the text is much too small.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. Yes, with my epubs I can alter the font size.

It's called EPUBReader - I found it by googling 'epub reader firefox addon'.

Amazon offers a desktop kindle reader for mobi files, I've never had issues with font size with it. It's a free download from amazon.
