What to look for

  • An e-reader sets its own font size, which on its own brings reading back for a lot of people.
  • A holder takes the weight off the hands and neck during a long sitting.

Common questions

What makes reading easier for low vision or weak hands?
An e-reader lets you enlarge the text and is light to hold. A book or tablet holder frees the hands and reduces neck strain; and good, glare-free light improves contrast. Use them together as needed.
What helps with writing or crafts when hands cramp?
Weighted, chunky-grip pens reduce the effort and cramping of writing, and built-up grips can be added to crochet hooks, brushes, and other tools.
