i seem to wonder what is the best e-reader for the deaf for easy to use and more easy to read? do e-readers show large print e-books? let me know thanks
I wondered the same thing.How does being deaf effect which e-reader you'd use????

Affect.
Perhaps, that got me thinking it would make a good listening exercise for some.Affect.
E-reader works for anyone... who can read. If you're concerned with sounds, you can always turn it off or if you want it to read out loud while you read along. Kindle has that application and you can read along with "text to speech." Kindle also enlarges font. I own a kindle myself and I love it. It's an amazing thing to own.
A friend likes Nook because she can always click on a word and get a dictionary explanation. I want to know if Kindle and Kobo (and others) can do the same. Thanks!

As a Kindle 3 owner, it does have the Oxford Dictionary. While I read, I click a word with a button, and the definition of a word pops up in a second. Love it.
Check this out:Love that, too. And I like the ability to flag sections and make notes, although I don't actually use that as much as I thought. So happy with the Kindle. I wish it were possible to share books more easily, though.

I have the Kobo, and ended up downloading the above application so I could easily delete the free books that came on it.
You can get an application for your PC for Nook or Kindle and then you can have very large font.
