No buttons for Grandma. No nice contrast for Grandma. No larger screen for Grandma. No nice space to make it easier to hold. No love for Grandma. Libra 2 = love for Grandma. Clara HD = meh! for grandma.

No silly tapping or swiping to turn pages, the clearest text imaginable. It just runs itself, which is what I understand older people want So +1 to that. |

My mother has very bad eyesight and uses a very large font size. She has used 7" ereaders in the past, and is now using an 8". She was reading Gone With the Wind the other day, and commented that it was over 5000 "pages" long. |

OP did specify cheap. I think a Clara HD would be fine.

I know you're on an anti-6" screen crusade, but could you tone down the hyperbole just a bit? Last edited by rcentros; 06-11-2023 at 07:42 PM. |

Here's an attached picture of a screen with large print on the Clara HD (random book I "bought" for free from Kobo to see it the Mini could still use the Kobo market). (Tried to take a screenshot, but couldn't get that working?) Last edited by rcentros; 06-12-2023 at 02:12 AM. Reason: added screenshot |
