Sizing text in Newstand

Coming over from a full size tab to the Nexus 7. Great tablet in terms of performance. I really like the form factor too.

The one problem, and it may force me to go larger, is text size. I can deal wiht the web pages because they can be resized or rotated to portrait.

However when I read my magazines in Google Newstand, zoom is not available, nor is portrait mode. While I can read the text it is uncomfortable.

So here's my question:

In system settings AND in the Newstand, there is a setting for font size.

System fonts do enlarge (like in my folders, the list of apps gets larger). But webpages do NOT and I still have to zoom/rotate to get larger text.

Newstand is more of a problem. NOTHING happens. Small, normal or large, I can get any size font I want as long as it is the original one that I started with.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
