With a little work you can overcome it. You don't need a ereader, a iPod, iPad, or anything else. Thousands if not millions of people have overcome their own trouble without any gadgets. Stop using this as a crutch or a excuse (as I have seen many people do)
I have a very close friend who is *strongly* dyslexic and with a *lot* of hard work overcame it. Nonetheless, my friend adores Kindles both eink and tablets for facilitating reading so it doesn't *require* the intense concentration and focus of reading on print. My friend also adores audible ebooks and the Kindles' immersive reading feature.
Using technology to make life easier or more comfortable is not using it as a crutch or excuse but a simple quality of life choice.

To each their own, but not everybody delights in climbing a mountain just to read a novel.
