Maybe someone on the Apple ping list has already invented this wheel and I don’t know about it??
Another question might be: would the Kindle app help at all with this?
Have you tried using a larger font and then decreasing the magnification?
I'm glad you got an iPhone.
I love mine.
The only thing that I know of is to tap the screen or use your fingers to adjust the size.
I do the same.
Get a netbook.
I turn my iPhone to landscape, sideways, one tap magnifies to the full screen and no problem...font is small, but with my glasses it’s fine.
You’re going to need an iPhone stretcher.
You need to learn the finger gestures for the touch screen. You can magnify to any size just by pinching thumb and forefinger and then separating them. Go to the apple website for a demo of the gesture.
Thanks. I will give that a try.
ditto
so when is freerepublic going to update it software to allow to insert quotes properly to the message we’re replying
That sure would be nice to have.
1 - we need a mobile version of FR
2 - the “Free RSS” reader helps me a lot to quickly go thru Freep posts.
Ps. This was typed on an Ipod.
Try reading crosseyed

Kindle app only downloads and dsplays Kindle encoded content
I can manipulate the text size by the finger move on the screen just fine, but to make the text big enough to comfortably read, the whole column is wider than the screen, and I’d have to scroll left and right to read each full line of text.
Maybe I am not saying this right.
What I’d like is what is on other websites, where somehow it’s formatted to fit the screen, even if you do the finger-move to zoom in on the text. On many news sites, if you wanted the text bigger and made that move to do so, the column still stops at the sides of your screen so that you can read the entire sentence.
On FR, when you zoom in on the text, the sides of a line of text go off screen. Hasn’t some FReeper figured this out, how to read effortlessly and keep all of the FR posts and comments ON the screen width-wise?
