    Kindles are great, I wonder if the more tactile ones with buttons at the side for turning pages is better than the touch screen models, for the visually impaired?

    Hi OP
    Hope its alright to post here, was just having a scrole through, and seen your post
    there are many different options in terms of reading devices, if the person the post is for, has a smart phone, then there's a kindle app, and a lot of the time, kindle books now have the “ screen reader ” function supported, which means one can read books, kindle, on iphone, using the built in screen reader, called voice over, it works very well, use it myself as I have no vision. there are also ipads, and I believe some of the android devices work well, if its larger print you want. If its speech, and easy use of same you want, I'd look at an I device, or possibly a kindle. I hope you have managed to find something by now, just my tuppence worth :)
