Hi Everyone,

Any folks with low vision using this, and if so, what has been your experience? I see that some (such as PC Magazine) are touting it as a great tool for the visually impaired, and some (Consumer Reports) are saying it's no good for this.

I checked it out at a Sony Style and fell in love with the display, but I was saddened to see that the print could not be made larger than 200%. I see from the discussions on this forum that one can make the print larger in RTF... does this work for any kind of ebook (including the Sony Connect ones), or just some? How hard is it to fix the fonts so that they are larger on the Sony Reader device?
