End of Summer, Kindle question

The kids start school tomorrow. I have been back for a week, wasting my time mostly. If I have to work, I would much rather spend the time with the kids than with most of the adults with whom I work. Still, I am really dreading the start of a new year. The district has made so many bad changes that it will make my life suck and I am worried that eventually this will outweigh how much I love working with my kids. Maybe we can outlast the jerks, here's hoping.

I have been so excited about saving new Big Bang stories as PDF files on my Kindle. But I have a problem with some of them...the text is too small to read. I can't figure out a workable way to fix that problem. When I save things as word docs, the text size is fine. But I hate having to do that, and so often the formatting is so off I can't read it anyway. Any suggestions? I know you guys are way better than me at this stuff.

Is there an overall zoom or a text zoom? Does that mean scrolling back and forth? Apparently a spring 2010 software update 2.5 added pdf zoom, but I don't know if that means the whole image or the text itself.

I can make the text bigger on the kindle, but then the whole line doesn't fit and you have to scroll side to side for each line. Way more trouble than it is worth. What I want to do is re-size the text before I move it to the Kindle-on the PDF file itself. But I can't seem to do that either. Grrrr.
