Simple To Use Eink Reader For The Visually Impaired
Hello everyone. I am legally blind and have been this way from birth. I am near sited and hold things close to my face to read them. I am looking for an eink reader so I can enjoy reading more for fun. I have and love my iPad 3, BUT the screen reflects glare badly and even when using iBooks or the Kindle app....you still are using a device with the ability to destract you from reading. I can surf the web or check email, or waste time on FaceTube, YouBook or YouTwitFace. I want a device made just for reading.
I am not concerned with being tied to a certain store or format. I want to read free or as cheap as I can. I want a device that will allow me to add my own books through drag and drop or Calibre. I also use the public library a lot so I want the device to allow me to check out ebooks. I live on a fixed income therefor I want to borrow books from my public library, side load my own books, or read free books from Project Gutenberg. I am not set on any certain brands and I would like to get a device that provides great value for the money rather than the the "best" yet most expensive. I use the digital talking book machine from the NLS and the BARD audio books as well. Please feel free to ask questions to help narrow down my search.
