Subject: Kindle for Visually Impaired?

 

My brother in law is losing his sight to Stargardt's disease.  

I am wondering whether a Kindle, iPad, or Nook wuld be best in terms of
visibility/adjustable font size/etc.

Do you know of any research into these devices as to their usefulness to the
VI population?

Thanks!  Fred
