At my age, 64 reading has become a bit of a challenge with my eyesight not being what it used to be. I love books, but the small print in paperbacks strains my eyes after a while. My granddaughter suggested getting an e-reader from Amazon to make things easier. I've tried squinting and using reading glasses, but they slip off, and it's uncomfortable. I need something with big font options and maybe a backlight that isn't too harsh. Budget-wise, I don't want to spend more than $150, as I'm on a fixed income. Last time I tried one at the store, the screen was too glarey in sunlight, and I like reading on my porch. Has anyone my age found a good e-reader that helps with vision issues? I'd appreciate any recommendations.
