Well, audio books are an option. My Mom was a big reader (big being 1-2 books/month) until she lost her sight to Macular Degeneration. She got a subscription to Books For The Blind, which provided her with a tape player and a monthly(?) catalog through which you could order books with help from the family. I'm a Audible user, so I'll not be out of luck.

But... I still prefer to read with my eyes, which are getting worse as I inch toward my 70's. I love the ability to increase font size so I can continue to read without glasses. While the monkey will only read on e-ink, I'm perfectly satisfied with my Fire as a reading device and I expect I'll continue reading on long after the monkey has given up.
