Freda, I find the print far more clear and crisp, so even in the smaller prints, I can read it better than usual print in a book. But when I am tired, I sometimes enlarge the size of the print and it helps a lot. it is the easiest reading I’ve done!

The Kindle idea is something I had not thought about much, however, I have been experiencing problems with small print and bad light….. ie older eyes…… so maybe an adjustable device would help with that too.

I’ve been reading avidly in recent months. When I went to college and grad school in my 40s, I had little time for reading anything but text books, and I learned to read in excerpts. I found that I could not read a book cover to cover as I once did. Then in December my daughter and her family gave me a Kindle, as I was scheduled for surgery in January, and somehow, that has restored my ability to read in quantity, once again. Since then I have read nearly 100 books! Hurrah!!

Critical thinking skills and contemplative thought. There is a recently published book on this and it has the word ‘Shallow’ in the title, although I cannot remember the full title.

Amen Sister on the reading. Very few things give me more pleasure than being in the middle of a good book.

I so agree with you. I hope my little grandson will love reading. I want him to be able to read for pleasure. Sometimes the schools take that away from students. I’m a firm believer not all children are ready to read when the schools say it’s time to read, sometimes causing reading to be a stressful experience for some children. What a shame.
