Most physical libraries have maybe a shelf-row of large text books. Nearly all ebooks are large text at the click of a button.
I just wanted to make it clear that some people are not choosing digital reading because they are wealthy early-adopters, but they are choosing digital reading because it opens up more choices than large-text books and audiobooks (not to mention of course those who don't read physical books because of disabilities that make DTBs difficult/impossible/painful to hold).
