Before you ask what I did before e-readers, my answer is that my eyes weren't that bad when I got my first portable e-reader (a palm device, which quickly got upgraded to a Treo) Even then, I would sometimes make the font big enough so that only one or two words appeared on the (much smaller) screen. I had also started reading less, because it just wasn't as comfortable. I do wear glasses during the day if I'm reading or working on the computer, but it's just not comfortable to wear them when I'm reading in bed, so I crank up the font size.

Have you thought of getting a Kobo Forma with an 8" screen? At the font size you use, the larger screen would be much more useful.
