SundayAtDusk | 88 comments I didn't like the NetGalley Reader at first because it seemed to be no different than the NetGalley Shelf. The font size was too small, and enlarging it using the touch screen made it hard to turn pages, since you always had to reduce it back to how it was before enlarging it.

I discovered tonight, however, that some books allow you to increase the font size in the settings at NetGalley Reader, so page turning is exactly like turning pages on a Kindle device. Unfortunately, not all books have that setting. I wish you could find out before requesting a book if it does or does not. I don't have the patience to keep increasing and decreasing font sizes, and I don't like scrolling.

Still, I'm not a bit impressed with (.lcpl) format. (.ACSM) were way too good.

It is the EPUB files whose font size you can change. PDFs are fixed-format documents, that's why you can neither change their appearance nor use TTS on them.
Before requesting a book, you just need to see if it is available in EPUB format or PDF format. This information is available in the "Available on NetGalley" just below the blurb on the book's NG page.
