I have a pair of glasses dedicated to reading. I could read with my regular pair, but I got the reading glasses made for the specific purpose of being able to read the smallest possible font comfortably. As I tend to read non linearly, I find I need as much text per page as possible; it helps the story "jump at me".

No glasses to read on my PEz or paperback. I use the medium setting (and a base font set to 1.2em) (almost 100% epub, but I have no problems with the menus) Nearsighted for over 50 Years

Even with the ability to increase font size, I still need specs for clarity ....

All my books are Large Print now. I used to have to switch to reading glasses but now I can use the bottom of my bi-focals and just enlarge the font to Large.

My kids also laugh and say all the page turns I have to do are draining the batteries that much faster. So what. I'm very happy to comfortably read all books.
I wear what are called *granny glasses* to read, and keep the font size down because of the amount of page turns.

Cheers

I am in the "can't find my e-reader without my glasses" crowd. My glasses are the first thing i put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night.

I would say, "Sometimes".

If I'm reading late at night (say, after midnight), then my vision starts to go a little. I find it's easier to reach over to my nightstand and put on my specs than it is to fiddle with the font menu on my K3.

I'm good with anything farther away than arm's length, but I've got to have glasses to read. It's only been the case for two years now and I'm still a bit annoyed by it.
Its a bummer getting long in the tooth !!!
