It seems like the print in books and the newspaper is getting lighter and smaller. Even with my prescription reading glasses my eye muscles feel strained which I worry could aggravate nystagmus.and other symptoms. I know that I probably need to buy a Kindle but I just cannot do it yet. But I did discover the “Sight Saver” books at our main library and they really help. They are wonderful. The print is larger and darker and they have a large selection of them. They are often too expensive to buy from the publisher but I will soon check Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
Also, I purchased a Rigid Page Magnifier (8 x 10) by UltraOptix at Barnes and Noble for $8.00. I also got a 2 x 3" one ($2.00) for my purse, to read small labels at the market, etc. Both are lightweight and distortion free. The page one makes reading the newspaper and hardbound books so much easier. I want to get one half the size for paperback books but I will have to order it since B & N did not carry it in stock. The large one is also great for reading hard copy of things at work. You do have to hold it about 2 inches above written text but it is light. And some day I will just have to switch to a reader.
