Amazon Kindle: Favorite Text Size
Posted by Kindler at 12/30/2007 1:34 PM and is filed under Amazon Kindle Questions,Amazon Kindle Usage 
One of the nice features regarding the Amazon Kindle is the ability to change the text size for books. I decided the third setting is the easiest on my eyes. The text size allows me to remove my glasses and keep the Kindle at a distance. After reading several books and articles at different text sizes, I am curious if others find their eyes do not hurt after reading for a long period of time.
Postscript: What are you reading today? I downloaded Bill Bryson's A short history of nearly everything. No, I will not include a link because I am simply curious whether anyone else is reading something interesting.
I am reading the Steve Jordan books available on his site in a bundle at 12 books for $10. They are Sci-Fi for the most part.

Looks like his books are very popular - and Amazon offers them in the Kindle Store as well as on his site (http://www.stevejordanbooks.com/) - but you can't beat the price of $10 for 12 books!
Maybe this brings up another question - do you prefer fiction or nonfiction?

The Kindle is a great tool for visually impaired people, like myself. Large print books tend to be about ten bucks more than regular books. With my Kindle, I can buy a book for the same price everyone else does, and then increase the font size. I use 5 on a good day, or 6 on a not-so-good day. The variety of large print books is very limited. With a Kindle, you can read almost any title in large print!
