I hadn't thought of that. I have great respect for the RNIB, especially
for their hearing books.

Talking books..hearing dogs.

Have you tried an e-book reader? You can adjust the size of the characters.


A friend of ours has wet macular degeneration and has tried an e-book
reader. Sadly, he still couldn't read it.


In my experience e-book readers like Kindle are only suitable for
people with slightly failing vision. I also have wet MD and an e-book
is no use to me.
If you have a low vision clinic you can visit, they will be able to
assess what aids would be best for your sight.

I believe he has done that already, as he has had MD for several years
now (he's in his late 70's). He has a job to read even with the aid of
a strong magnifying glass.
