John, I'm pretty sure your friend has discovered the only two ways of increasing the text size. Just for clarity, would I be right in thinking this is the Kindle app for an iPhone, iPad or Mac computer? If it's the latter, then it might be possible to resize the Kindle window so that she doesn't have to drag the screen.

She has looked at a Kindle for her own use. She has found that the standard font size increments available do not make the text quite big enough for unstressed reading. Also, she does not like to use the zoom facility as then she needs to constantly use her fingers to move the screen between the left and right side of the image. Apart from using the standard font expansion facility available in the Kindle is there any other way of expanding the font and retain the Kindle facility of changing the page layout to match the font size? Thanks in advance.
