    Default Sources of large print Japanese books / reading materials?

    Hello,

    I'm trying to purchase some books to work on my Japanese language skills with and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for stores to order from. Aside from textbooks, I'd also like to buy some reading material that I could practice reading with. Here's the slight problem I have: as a result of a visual impairment, it's quite hard for me to read kanji and furigana when they are printed at their usual size. Ideally, I'd like to be able to purchase large print reading material; however, electronic books are fine too (though I prefer to be able to have a hard copy or backup copy if possible). So, does anyone know of any stores or groups that might carry this sort of stuff?

    Thank you

    Why not just buying a magnifying glass, as it will save you a lpt of trouble!

    I already have quite a few magnifying glasses; unfortunately, aside from being a bit cumbersome to use, they don't always magnify text enough for me.
