The print can be made quite a bit larger. It looks more like a printed page than a computer screen so does great in bright sunlight, but will need a reading light if it is dark. I ordered it Monday and it was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. I had it shipped 2nd day 'cause it was free but I guess since it was shipped from KY it showed up in one day. I like to read hardbacks, but hate lugging them around. The paperbacks are nice but hard to keep open. This comes with a book like cover so don't need to order one. I did and now I have to send it back. It's very comfortable to hold and read from. It's just a little larger than a paperback. You can order audio books for it and you can also download music from your computer to play as background. Might try that eventually. Not on the top of my must do list. The buttons to turn the page are large and easy to deal with. One of the girls at work is thinking about ordering one for her elderly parent who has vision problems. The big advantage of this over Sony's is that you don't have to download from a computer. When you have dial-up downloads take forever. I can order from the computer or the kindle but have to drive to where there is cell phone service. -- Anna Southern Ohio
