They all have an extra large format. I know that the DXG (so I am assuming the K3 and K2) has one font size that gets about two words per line on the screen.

Even better, the Kindle has TTS. If you need to be reading on the extra, extra, large font you probably would be happy to have an ereader that can read to you the books that are not available as an audio book. The computer voice is not the same quality as an actor, not even close, but it is better then not being able to listen to the books not availble in audio format for someone with vision problems.

And the recent Library of Congress ruling does allow people to buy the TTS lock out if the book is not available in an audio format for people with disabilities.
