I need fairly large text because even with reading glasses for my right eye I still need a fairly large font. In this manner I get a decent composite image. Fortunately CSR doesn't hamper my distance vision too much and I get a decent composite image there too.
The 11" iPad pro makes this easy. I can have a comfortable size font and still have a lot of text on a single page. I was hating my voyage with so little text to a page. I find the iPad very comfortable for reading as long as I don't scorch my eyes with iPad brightness.
Fortunately CSR is a self correcting problem and Ive had it before and it just goes away on it's own. This time it's being a bit stubborn but it seems to be finally starting to improve. I bought a Kindle Oasis for outside back porch reading and I can get a decent amount of readable text on a page, not as good as an iPad, but good enough.

For anyone with eye problems that require a larger font, I suggest the Kobo Forma with an 8" screen. It's going to be better then the Oasis or Libra at 7". The larger the size you need, the better the 8" screen is vs the 7" screen.
I highly recommend swapping out the Oasis for a Forma.
