Increasing the Font Size on my NOOK reader is one of my favorite features.
I am new to e-reader/tablet technology and have been a bit
slow in embracing this technology. In
late May of this year, I purchased a NOOK Simple Touch e-reader, because I had seen it repeatedly on the textbook website of a school where I’m
taking classes. Prior to the summer
term, the textbook list for the course I was enrolled in said that there was no
textbook for my course. A few days prior
to the start of the course, I was informed by the instructor that there would
be a required textbook. Since I was scheduled
to go out of town for a conference within a few days of learning about the
textbook, my dilemma was how to get the textbook quickly so that I would not fall
behind in my class readings. After a little
Internet research about e-books and e-readers, I skeptically decided to
purchase a NOOK during my out-of-town trip, and purchased the NOOK Simple Touch.
Later that afternoon, I purchased and downloaded my textbook
to the NOOK reader, and sat in my hotel room and began reading and playing with
the features of this new technology. “This
is great,” I said to myself, “to be able to download my textbook and not have
to wait on it to arrive in the mail.”
To my surprise, the text on NOOK reader was easy to read and
hold. The size of such a small device
was one of the reasons I was reluctant to embrace the e-reader. When I discovered that the font size of the
e-reader could be increased, I knew money spent on this new technology was a
great investment. Since purchasing my
NOOK, I have not only enjoyed using it for textbooks, but also for pleasure
reading, as well as saving documents in .pdf format and loading them to read on
my NOOK.
This morning as part of my Black Friday Shopping, I purchased the new Kindle Fire HD in which I will report on later.
