One factor that’s bizarre about Kindles is the truth that totally different fashions have totally different settings with regards to displaying the scale of person interface icons and textual content.
Each the Kindle Scribe and Kindle Oasis have a setting to extend the scale of all of the menus and textual content for the general interface, not simply textual content inside ebooks.
This function is accessible from the principle settings menu below Display and brightness > Format dimension. There’s a Normal setting and a Giant setting.
I’ve at all times preferred the Giant setting higher, however that possibility just isn’t accessible on the Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite. The display on the present Kindle Paperwhite is barely 0.2″ smaller than the display on the Kindle Oasis so it doesn’t actually make any sense to have the Giant setting on one and never the opposite.
Awhile again Amazon modified across the settings menus on Kindles for like the 20 th time, and now the scale of the textual content is actually small in some locations, so much smaller than it was once. It’s like they don’t even take into account individuals with imaginative and prescient issues in any respect.
Kindles supply 14 totally different font sizes with regards to studying ebooks, however the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite solely supply 1 dimension with regards to the scale of the person interface textual content. I simply did a fast check and the smallest font dimension for ebooks is definitely bigger than a number of the tiny textual content in the principle settings menu.
Kobo’s ereaders are significantly better with regards to this sort of factor. They provide a Giant Print Mode setting that helps customized scaling from 100-180% to vary the scale of the textual content throughout the whole person interface. It could look odd in some methods, however at the least individuals with out excellent imaginative and prescient have the choice to extend the scale of the person interface textual content if they should.
I don’t perceive how the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite nonetheless don’t have a setting for this, particularly contemplating Kindles have been round for 17 years now. I assume some issues simply by no means change…
