FYI some of Rand's earlier works are apparently in the public domain, otherwise you will just have to wait for the rest either to be made commercially available or enter the public domain -- or pirate it. I'm pretty sure Rand would rip you a new one for copyright violations, if that matters to you at all.

I empathize with your need for large print, and fully agree that it's a huge benefit of an e-book version. Unfortunately that doesn't alter the fundamental copyright issue.
Actually Information is pretty much free. It is the presentation of information that gets copyrighted. And it is the presentation that we enjoy reading otherwise XL spreadsheets would be more popular eBooks.
