Those days of impossibly small print seem to be over for me. I haven't been able to read or re-read treasured print books in years, even with my reading glasses. I'm so thankful for ereaders.
But...after having cataract surgery early this month in one eye I can now see the tiniest print with cheap Dollar Store reading glasses. Next Wednesday I'm having the second surgery and will re-read Time and Again and The-Seven-Per-Cent Solution, neither available in ebook format. Plus I can read all those lovely Henry Wade Harrap's Shilling Library editions I found last year.
I expected cataract surgery to give me back the ability to take road trips while losing what is left of my near vision. Instead I can read anything again with the cheapest glasses. So I'll likely purchase fewer ebooks with all those shelves of old print treasures available again.
