Kindle owners, need your help.. (1 Viewer)

[StephenK]

Hello all,

I have a parent who has vision problems and reading regular books are next to impossible for her for longer than 5 minutes at a time. I initially thought the Kindle would be a great idea due to it's variable text size. However, I read that the largest text size is only equivalent to a printed 16pt font size, which just isn't big enough for her.

I was wondering if any Kindle owner can kindly confirm what printed font size the largest (6) kindle text size is equivalent to. Also, how many (approximate) words would fit on a page (to gauge how often you're page flipping).

Thanks,
Steve
