No eReaders can match those options which are accessed Main Menu / Swipe Down / Settings / Accessibility. Some of the options are: Screen Reader (spoken feedback when accessing items on the screen); Reading Speed; Explore by Touch (full descriptions of items under one's finger); Screen Magnifier (gestures to alter fonts and magnify the screen); Use Large Font Sizes (I use that one); Closed Captioning on all videos; Convert Stereo to Mono.

They have an Accessibility Users' Guide and Explore by Touch Tutorial.

Under Settings / Display & Sounds they offer Display Mirroring which allows the Kindle Screen to be shown on a TV or Media Streaming Device. Those Devices are not available yet but will have dozens of extra fonts, sizes, etc. and allow one person to manage a lecture with audience holding those devices and the leader projecting his screen to them.
We are talking about the Paperwhite in this thread, and quite frankly some of us don't care about the Fire HDX. Try to stay on subject for a change.
