![]() History and historical fiction, with a smattering of techno-thrillers. You can see what I’ve been reading lately. On the above screen you can see that new books, like Terms of Use by Scott Allan Morrison show up under New Items and can be tapped directly to read, but you can also tap on the “Books” app with the “Kindle” icon. In many of these screen captures I’ve trimmed down what isn’t relevant in the interest of space and readability, don’t be surprised if your screen lays out slightly differently. To start, open up the Kindle app on your device: Not only can you change the size of the type, you can actually change typeface in case a serif or san-serif face is more to your liking, change the leading (the space between lines) and the margins to have the electronic display be perfect for your own visual acuity and reading preferences! ![]() ![]() Sure there’s the “Large Type” editions, but an ebook reader like the Amazon Kindle is really such a win by comparison because of how much you can fine-tune your reading experience. Get a book from the local library and if the type’s too small, well, then you’ll just have to suffer. One of the great advantages of ebooks is that unlike a printed book you aren’t at the mercy of the design and layout sense of the printer.
