I have my own FONT_RAMP file on my Oasis 2, as my favorite size is somewhere between 5 and 6. On my Voyage and the Oasis 2016 size 5 works for me, on the Oasis 2 it's a bit too small because of the bigger screen. I always use Helvetica, bold level 1 on all my Kindles. The reading distance is a foot or so.

I have very poor vision, without glasses I'm half-blind, everything is total blur. I always read with my glasses on and even then I prefer bigger fonts, tiny fonts make my eyes ache pretty fast. I also have the fonts enlarged on my laptop, my tablet and my phone.
