[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always been severely myopic but now in middle age, I can't see up close either. (So uncomfortable! So scary!) I am also developing cataracts. My New Year's resolution is to get off the internet and go back to reading books again. I think my best bet is an e-reader.

I have an old Nook, but I think e-ink would be better for my eyes. Any recommendations? I looked at kindles, but they are all so small. I'd love a screen that was more like 8-10 inches instead of 6 or 7. Does anyone make one? Why doesn't Amazon make one? People our age are the ones who read the most books! (I saw the Kindle Scribe-- wonderful but so expensive!)

Actually people from 18-29 are the age group that reads the most. The Kindle scribe, which you reference, is 10 inches, exactly what you’re asking for. You just think it’s too expensive.

If you can wait they will put them on sale for whenever prime day rolls around again.

Also someone said above kindle are back lit, they are actually front lit. The light is pointed across the screen rather than beaming out from the device directly into your eyes. [/quote]
