Open Library Web site.

I came across this website and it looks interesting, Ive just started dabbling with it so I cant tell you if it works good or not.
I did find some interesting older books as ebooks. I havent tried the borrow function yet.

Im thinking this would be nice for those of us who are homebound. Also if you need bigger print you can adjust your computer to be as big as you need.

Ive borrowed some e-books from our library. You only have to be a member of any library i n the state and you have access to the entire e-library. I read them on my tablet - and yes, you can adjust font size if you want to.

I go to Audible.com for all my audible books. I use my Kindle for PC to get Kindle eBooks' to read.

I have to read large print books, even with strong readers.
I don't like audio books, and when I have read a few on Kindle, it was too tricky to go back if you were looking for earlier plot, names, etc.

My state (Mississippi) has a service where the state library system will send you large print books (or audio books) free of charge, along with return postage mailer. Probably most states have the same service.

Im not good with computer stuff but I have seen other people use their big screen TV as a monitor.
If you know how you could make your print as big as you need.

I use ctrl F to search pages online. I wonder if that would work on Kindle online.

Decades ago I volunteered for Project Gutenberg to transcribe books. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Veronica such sites are stellar!

With a regular computer, you can enlarge text with the Ctrl + keys.

I do that on my laptop now. But you can only go so big.
I was referring to was using your TV as a monitor.
If you have vision problems, it would be nice to have a 50 inch or bigger monitor.

I have a list of ctrl keys and short cut keys that I use a lot.
