Is an 8″ ereader better now than “Large Print” editions? But perhaps not everyone needing large print would be happy with an eReader and might need a cell/mobile version. I have a friend with macular degeneration and “Large Print” editions aren't good enough for him. He has a 10″ Lenovo yoga tab with SIM slot/mobile as a phone. Cost about €300 new with no contract, so cheaper than many subsidised phones.
I do find some paperbacks have too small print and also some are poorly printed so unless it's a Series I have a lot of on paper I tend now to buy the ebook. Also what's great about eBooks, having the programming & publish background is that it's trivial to fix stupid formatting. I'll stop buying from any source that prevents that.
