Locating publications with enlarged text caters to readers with visual impairments, making literature accessible to a wider audience. This includes books with larger font sizes, increased spacing between lines and words, and often higher contrast print to reduce eye strain. An example would be a classic novel printed with a 16-point font size, compared to a standard 12-point font.
Enhanced readability improves comprehension and reduces fatigue, allowing individuals to enjoy reading for longer periods. This is particularly crucial for those with conditions like macular degeneration or other visual challenges. Historically, large print materials were limited, but advancements in printing technology and growing awareness of accessibility needs have led to a wider availability of such publications.
