When you touch the screen in
When you touch the screen in two places you are using the standard iphone "pinch zoom" gesture to increase or decrease the font size. That's a feature not a bug, though i can see how having it happen on accident could get annoying. :-)
Withak is right that this
Withak is right that this standard iPhone behavior and definitely not a bug. It's actually pretty convenient to be able to change the font size without entering the Book Settings screen. In a future release, though, we hope to implement a "lock font size" setting to allow users to prevent accidental pinching and zooming.
It's very convenient if you
It's very convenient if you want to make the font one or two steps bigger or smaller which is almost impossible to do with the slider.
Making it less sensitive might help, so it would require a big pinch gesture and not just a small one that might result from accidentally touching the screen in two places.
