Improvement in readability desired

I have both the Olive Tree and the Logos App on my Kindle fire.  While the Olive Tree doesn't compare with the Logos App it does have one feature that is significantly better, and that is its flexibility in choosing the font font face and size coupled with background color.  I am 78 and my eyes are not what they used to be.  often I find it hard tto read the Logos app where I can read the Olive Tree app in the same lighting conditions. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciate.

Having complained I must also commend the designers for a great design.

    Hi Robert,

    Although the Font type cannot be changed, the Font size and Background color indeed can be changed.  When you are reading, if you swipe down on the resource the bottom menu panel should appear.  There is a "View Settings" button that allows you to adjust the Font size and the Background color.  I hope this helps.

    Thank you for your reply.  I was aware of the ability to change font size and screen color. The problem is that the available font choices are limited, and there are only two color choices white on black or black on white.  If you are interested download the free Olive Tree App and check out the flexibility provided.

    I would also like to see more than black on white and white on black.

    I agree that the font choices are too limited.  We use the Kindle Fire for our reading and find the book reader much easier to read than the Logos app.
