I used mine for my visually impaired mother & it worked great. However I used the RTF formatted ebooks (or converted to RTF) so that I could increase the font size in MS Word (or MS Works or Open Office) and saved the larger size as RTF. We found that a 36 or 40 point font would work for her. It does increase the page turning but she was having to use a magnifying glass just to read a Large Print pbook.
