Answers.Text: So at that point, just change the styling in the CSS file so it's using relative units (eg 2.5em) instead of the absolute ones (30px).

ThreadText: # Zoom problem in Kindle with .MOBI converted from PDF
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-02-24)
  
  I have a Kindle Touch (Kindle (7th Generation)). I have converted a PDF into `.MOBI` format using PDF converter tools, such as `kdpdfopt` with all these options set: `-mode fp -n- -c -ocr t -h 6.7in -w 4.7in`. And then, for smooth rendering, I converted this PDF into `.MOBI` using Calibre.
  
  Now when I transferred this converted `.MOBI` file onto my Kindle, the font size remained the same. Even if I try to zoom in, the font size remains constant.
  
  P.S. The font size is set very small which makes reading very poor.
