on my HTC when I zoom the screen it automatically adjusts the text to fit on the screen so that you don't have to scroll side to side to read. is there a way to set that on the note 2? I'm debating between the Note 2 and the One and I appreciate that feature of eliminating side to side scrolling.

I have only used the stock app and opera and both these have the option for text to fit the screen.
 
It depends on the browser you're using.
Boat Browser Mini supports text reflow.
It's also the fastest browser out there.
Give it a try.
 
I don't use the stock browser, but if you do use the stock browser you can get text to reflow by doing the following....

While using the stock browser...

Menu > Settings > Advanced > Auto-fit pages (checkbox)

To use the feature after you have engaged it... Zoom in to increase the page size, then double tap the screen to force the text to reflow
 
Thanks. Does it work the same way with emails? I apologize for the questions but trying to decide between two great phones is difficult to bad you couldn't just morph the two phones together. i was leaning towards the note2 but after all of the great reviews coming out on the One it is making it more difficult. Battery life i think will be the deciding factor. Although Zoe is intriguing.

Yes. The stock email app will reflow text if you pinch to zoom. The Gmail app will do it also, but you have to enable it.
In the Gmail app... Menu > Settings > General settings > Auto-fit messages (checkbox)
