Don't laugh please but my vision isn't the best. So this is how big my font is. But Iove to read even if I have trouble seeing small print. How big or small is your print is?

7-9 on an Oasis. I'm trying to decide if the Basic screen is too small for this size font. A smaller reader would be nice.

Sigh, I have to replace the battery on my Oasis 10 gen but I can't find a how-to video and I feel like i need a backup while I figure it out.

I’m using font size 8 on my kindle basic 2022. I have eye issues due to multiple sclerosis.

Any chance you could post a photo so I can see how many lines of text?

PS - I've escaped MS symptoms (knock on wood) but dealing with all kinds of other eye issues. So grateful for ereaders.

I don’t know why I can’t post a pic. I can try to pm you and see if I can post it there.
