I love the Kindle 2! My eyesight has deteriorated due to age and Macular Degeneration and I had quit reading because of the strain it caused. Now I can enlarge the print so I can see the print with little effort. I am already half way through book three! Convenient, easy, compact and amazingly fast book delivery. I would give it 10 stars.
kindle 2, March 30, 2009 By Dal Ward i absolutely love my kindle 2, i have macular degeneration and being able to read larger script has made my life so much easier and if i lose the sight in my left eye, i will still be able to listen to books. i have been reading all and every thing since i was about nine, it is my favorite thing to do. thank you so much for this wonderful product. i also find it easier to use than the kindle one, there is not one thing i would change. i truly think of the kindle 2 as my sanity lifesaver. The Kindle has sparked hope for a Mom with Macular Degeneration, March 19, 2009 By Maureen King What a wonderful device, arriving just at the time we needed it most. My mom has been receiving treatment for Macular Degeneration (wet) in both eyes, and recently the bleeding in her good eye returned. Then the Kindle arrived, and she found the text to speech setting, the print size modifier, and it is a match made in heaven. She loves it, finds comfort in it, and uses it constantly. The only better thing would be large print mah jongg tiles, and I'll find them yet! I love it too, as I can roll over in bed and read my NY Times with out sitting at a computer screen. Should be more marketing to the vision impaired for sure! A wonderful thing-can't wait for Kindle 3. If you buy a lot of books, especially the costly large print editions, you will save money with the Kindle 2. Don't hesitate. Any one in the Charleston, SC area who would like to see mine, please let me know. Significant help for macular degeneration, April 29, 2009 By James Howard I have macular degeneration and find the Kindle 2 to be amazing help. I have always read many books and when I developed vision problems I had to revert to listening to books on tape. Kindle 2 has an adjustment to large print, in addition to audio, which is a tremendous help for me. It is small enough to enable me to take it when traveling. Ideal for the elderly with progressive macular degeneration, May 22, 2009 By Regott I've had the Kindle 2 for two days and have wondered how I ever lived without it. I have been able to acquire Classics that I have wanted to read for many years. Most books that I desire are available for quick transfer. The ability to control font size has allowed me to be able to read almost anywhere. Due to my progressive macular degeneration I was having difficulty reading the physical book. With the Kindle 2 I am able to control the distance the reading material is held from my eyes. Kindle 2, June 8, 2009 Nancy L. Holforty I bought the kindle for my 90 yearr old mother whose sight is slowly decreasing due to macular degeneration. She was able to learn how to use it quickly and I was able to adjust the print so that she could read without glasses. It was a very good product for her.
