I am looking to buy a device mainly for myself, but would also like to be able to download books for my son who has visual reading difficulties. He currently reads books with a larger font size and uses coloured overlays over the text. The matt screen on the ebook readers would be helpful, but it would be even better if he could put a coloured overlay on the screen. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would you be able to see the text through it?

He has also written two chapter books on Word and I would like to be able to upload them to a reader. Is there a device which handles this better? Or is there software I could use to format the documents?

Any help greatly appreciated!
