Title: Note: this is different from a few previous Ask HN posts where the impacted person was technically apt (if not a geek). Here this is for a typical older person whose technical capacities are small.<p>My mother has a degenerative illness that is slowly going to lower here eyesight (starting from the center of the retina). We are not sure how far this is going to go.<p>She is an avid reader (several books every month) and this is what I would like to address in the first place. Then there are the other aspects that are less technical but are <i>very much</i> welcome as well.<p>She reads on a Kobo (or similar device) and the fact that she can make the fonts bigger is already a good thing. She will probably continue to do so (hopefully to get to the point where she will have to spell each word...).<p>She also solves quite a lot of &quot;literature oriented&quot; quizzes (similar to crosswords) - today this is on paper but I will need to find a way for her to move online.<p>I would appreciate any tricks or solutions for non-technical people like her that could make her life easier.
