'Makes a HUGE difference': If you struggle to see small print, this $19 magnifier can help
Do you love to read, but struggle to see the words on the page? If you're using an e-reader, it's easy enough to increase the font size — but, sadly, physical books don't have that option. Well, we've got a solution: Save yourself the eyestrain and invest in the MagniPros Page Magnifier. This is handy tool not only magnifies the text but illuminates the page you're reading. Let there be light ... and clarity!
With an anti-glare coating and several LEDs, this tool makes it easy to read in any light levels.
There are a lot of random little gadgets out there that can be used to light up a book, but the MagniPros is a bit different. It directs all the light to a single area and utilizes anti-glare blocking to prevent the light from escaping. This means you can use it in bed without waking your partner and without compromising your ability to see the text.
The lens is large at 4.5 by 7 inches and magnifies everything by up to 400%. That's invaluable for reading small text, and you can use it on anything from writing a check to browsing the newspaper. A handle to the right side of the tool gives you a solid place to grip it, and there's also an on/off switch within easy reach.
You shouldn't ever need batteries for this tool, either. It's rated at more than 100,000 hours — that's over 11 years of continuous use. Oh, and don't worry about the weight, either. The MagniPros Magnifier is only four ounces.
"Love it!" one customer raved. "The packaging seems to be geared toward seniors. I’m only 50 years old, but I do need bifocals and some writing is still too tiny. I got this book magnifier and it makes a HUGE difference! I can see every little detail of the tiniest print. Plus, it’s lighted, which makes things even easier to see. And it’s made in the USA! Can’t find that much these days. Very happy with this purchase!"
"This is perfect for reading large forms or pages with fine print. Easy to hold (very light) and the light is great! I highly recommend," said another shopper.
Read more and read easier with this handy gadget. Available in four colors: aqua, blue, grey, and silver.
