Just got back from the Low Vision clinic. The have an impressive range of really powerful magnifying glasses. They simply gave one to my relative at no cost (NHS)
I asked about ereaders and was told people with macular degeneration tend to prefer high contrast. Therefore, a tablet with a backlight tends to be preferred to e-ink. However, this is not always the case. I was told that recently a Kindle was preferred over an iPad.
So, I have learnt that the size on the font is not the only consideration, contrast is almost as important.
I think I will start a new thread asking for suggestion for high contrast large font ereader that are very simple to use.
