Large Print Magazine

A large print magazine may be a nice option to continue enjoying your favorite magazine as your macular degeneration progresses.



Large Print Magazine Subscription

A subscription for these magazines is available to U.S. and Canadian residents. They usually are not available as single issues along with other magazines at your local stores.

However, I am surprised by how few magazines are available in large print. They are:

Reader's Digest

Guide Posts

Daily Word

Living with Christ - Catholic Digest

Crossword Puzzles

Large Print Reader's Digest

The Large Print Reader's Digest is the most popular magazine that comes in large print. It runs about $30 for a yearly subscription. This is a nice idea for a gift for someone with macular degeneration.

Kindle Reader

The Kindle reader is a wireless reading device that has the ability to increase the font size - making any book or magazine a large print edition. Books and magazines are downloaded to the electronic reading device any where that you can get a cell phone signal.

The selection of magazines available to Kindle readers are still quite limited - but better than the hard copy availability. Here is partial list:

The New Yorker

Time

U.S. News and World Report

Reader's Digest

Fortune

The Economist

Newsweek

PC Magazine

I wouldn't buy a Kindle just for it's magazine subscriptions, but if you decide you would like to read your books this way, you may want to just give a magazine subscription a try.

It's risk free - all Kindle Magazine subscriptions start with a 14-day free trial. You can cancel at any time during the free trial period. If you enjoy your subscription, do nothing and it will automatically continue at the regular monthly price.

Kindle magazines are delivered wirelessly to your Kindle when the physical issue hits the newsstand.

You pay monthly for a magazine subscription.

One of the benefits of a Kindle magazine subscription is that ads are not included. The disadvantage is that there are also no pictures or illustrations - it is only text. To learn more about a Kindle Reader click here: Kindle Reader
