Anyway, I need a pair of reading glasses to start. Holding the book close to my face with my glasses off is bad for two reasons: my hands and arms get tired, and my eyes have to sweep further back and forth to read a line. At least I think so. Does that make sense?

How about an e-reader like a Kindle? Small and light, magnifiable fonts...sound like a good idea? I hate to strain the family's budget (our family's budget is highly fatigable) for it if it's not going to work well for me, though. Any suggestions? Other suggestions for making reading easier on tired muscles?
