Hi breis96324,

I'm legally blind so have special needs for my reading and although I bought my jetbook lite for one reason (price) it has worked ok for me but I've continued to look for something that has a large font plus the ability to change background colors, font colors and play mp3 files so I could slide load free public library mp3 audiobooks to play

In this thread I listed sites like bard and rfbd https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90654 that might help a visually impaired person

here is a link to overdrive and they list devices they support http://www.overdrive.com/software/omc/

I got lucky and my JBL got an update so it will read public library books now too

I liked the looks of Aluratek Color Ereader (video review, comments here)

list of ereaders with test to speech

some ereaders with TTS

I would probably go with an android tablet now instead of the JBL ..
getting an ereader app like coolreader or something similar or now some android devices support ereader apps with TTS
