Largest Font Size for Macular Mom
My mom loves to read but she has macular degeneration & has reached the point where the largest font on the Kindle 2 is barely large enough. We checked out the Kindle DX at a local store & while it's hard to tell (because we couldn't get it out of Demo-only mode), it looks like its largest font size isn't very much larger than the K2. The larger screen size on the DX was a nice plus, but she's hoping for something with some extra "head-room" in the font size to accommodate future vision decline.
I realize that text-to-speech is a good option as well, but she really enjoys reading it herself as long as that's still a possibility.
Does anyone know of other E-readers that work well/better for impaired vision?
Something with larger font sizes than the Kindle?
For reference:
Cap "M" on the Kindle 2 is 11mm wide x 9.5mm high.
Cap "M" on the Color Nook is 7mm wide x 5.5mm high.
Thanks in advance,
Walt C.
