Large Print
Hi, I'm looking to buy an ereader for someone who needs large print: What ones allow you to increase font?
My Dad can only read Large Print books due to gradually losing his sight. I want to get him an e-book reader - but what ones allow you to increase the size of the text by several points, (and of the ones that do : what is simplest to use and takes the most formats ? )
I'll say the Amazon Kindle, it will be a great gift for your father. It allows you to change fonts and has magnifier if you want the text even larger. There is also a text-to-speech function, so we can just listen to the book without using our eyes.
There are some good reviews here about it, the first one is written by a person who has aging eyes as well:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Freview%2FR2AF5MLAZJHZ52%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dcm%255Fcr%255Frdp%255Fperm&tag=moreinfo-po-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Finally, Amazon has just put a price slash on the Kindle 2, and it is now selling $100 cheaper than the price I got my Kindle, and it adds in international wireless access and native PDF support... So take the chance if you want it.
Hope it helps
