I am able to read small print better on the screen but font size is only accurate on paper. I have over $100 of Amazon gift credit, so it would be wrong for me to waste $35 ordering an ebook just to increase the font size. Obviously I can't go back in time to when glasses would be sufficient. I do have glasses, but they don't help me read all font sizes. I would still need a magnifying glass while looking at the maps, timelines, charts, character profiles, tables, notes, and cross references.
I would get it. You really don't read the bible like a book where you might read an entire chapter. One line can send you into deep thought for a while.
Have you thought about getting a pair of reading only glasses. I have a nice pair of progressive lenses for most of the time. However I found that a pair of computer glasses and a pair of reading only glasses can make a great difference. Not the reading glasses you buy at Walmart but an actual prescription glasses from your ophthalmologist. My eyes need different correction for each eye to actually read. So those store bought glasses can only focus one eye while a prescription glasses can get both eyes in focus which makes a big difference. Just tell the doctor you would like to be able to read again. If you can use a magnifying lens to see you can get a pair of glasses that can do the same. Of course you will not be able to use them for much else. I love them for getting a sliver our of my finger or threading a needle. Get some good lighting. I know it starts to get expensive but I figure we are worth it.
Print has gotten a lot smaller on a lot of things today. I know the average print today is smaller than it used to be. I think a lot of it is due to the ability to print smaller with better clarity. Unfortunately that does not help people as they get older and lose the ability to focus on that smaller print.Disregarding anything book publishers say, what do you consider a large print Bible?

I also bought some cookbooks. I tried to like my Kindle but I just don't. I like the feel of paper on my fingers, the turning of the page, the scribbling of a note in the marginSeems nice. I've been buying cookbooks lately, for new takes on Italian, Mexican, and SW cuisine. I mostly read on my backlighted Kindle so the print in books can be tougher without really good lighting.
I ordered this booklight from Amazon and love it. It lays around your neck:

A bible? Can they do that?Enhanced, updated, and with new content added throughout
Does this Bible come in Kindle format? You can adjust the font size and lighting brightness on them.

I think you should treat yourself to that fancy BibleThey certainly can. The enhanced and updated stuff is not the Scripture itself.
Yes, but I hate using mobile devices like Kindles.
So you'd prefer a massive volume that's heavy and awkward? Have you tried a Kindle?
I didnt want one but I ran out of room for bookshelves. And the moment I started using it I loved it.
They're not great for images and pictures but otherwise, amazingly flexible and customizable.
I hate using mobile devices in general - laptops, cell phones, tablets, you name it. The only reason I have a cell phone is to listen to audiobooks, which I started doing just because I can't read small print very well anymore.
I wrote earlier...the font size is customizable on the Kindle...very easily and it goes very large. It's also got customizable lighting and you can have real buttons AND a touch screen. The settings are easy to access and adjust.
And I think the basic Kindle is only around $80.
Touch screens are one of the main reasons I hate using mobile devices. I miss the old days when everything was controlled by a press button.
Why not include a link, Amazon or otherwise, so we can see it?

Looks like a pretty good bible but there are some things that I'd prefer different. I'm more of a fan of the NASB for accuracy of translation. However, with a concordance added to this bible that isn't that big of a deal.I found a Bible that AFAIK has almost everything I want except the Hebrew calendar.

How did they translate Ezekiel 23:20?
