When trying to increase text size, the reformat method suggested does not work, and pinch-to-zoom also does not reformat making it very difficult to read any articles. The Opera Mobile browser does this very well. Please advise. Thank you!

Thanks, this does help. But I don't understand why the text reformatting does not work with pinch-to-zoom, because IMHO this is a much needed and essential feature for browsing on a mobile phone.

It is a feature we are still working on. As you mentioned reformating text on pinch to zoom one of the elements that needs fixing.
