MSReader in true VGA mode

I've just upgraded to WM5.0 and am a little stuck. 95% of my PPC usage is reading ebooks and my reader of choice was MS Reader. in 2003SE i used OzVGA to make the entire device true VGA and as such I could read my ebooks in vga format. On WM5.0 I understand there is no programs such as OzVGA and applications have to be done individually using a hacked .mui file or the ForceHiRes control panel extension. I have tried both these on MsReader 2.4.1 in WM5.0 (although I believe they do the same thing anyway) and on neither occasion could I get MsReader to run in VGA. Is there a reason or is there a different way?

The mui file does work to make Reader display in VGA, at least the startup screen looks one hell of a lot better, but after that part Reader goes into a vga-aware mode and the stupidly large font sizes kick in. MS Reader is running in VGA, it's just not using VGA-sensible font sizes.... I've been wanting a way to change the font sizes to smalller ones for ages, OzVGA was the only way to make it a reasonable size, but wasn't a viable option for me.

ok, that makes sense. Likw yourself i can't use OzVGA as I have upgraded to WM5.0

Maybe we need to petition Microsoft to make MSReader give smaller font sizes if it detects VGA screens?
