<DIV><span class=834351707-26092011><font face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The <br><br> Kindle (K I N D L E) is barely accessible for low vision. While you can <br><br> increase the print size, the menus are still small print (8 or 10 point font). <br><br> You could probably memorize some of the menus, but many of them change <br><br> depending on what book you are in. Buying a book is also difficult. Also, not <br><br> all books have the read-aloud function enabled and a lot of the controversy <br><br> from the author's guild over this has caused many authors/publishers to <br><br> automatically disable this feature without really understanding whether this <br><br> is good for their particular book and audience. These observations are all <br><br> based off my use of the Kindle that we gave my mother and I have to teach how <br><br> to use it. (Plus, my knowledge and access to the literary world as a <br><br> writer.)</font></span></DIV>
