Mike, Fortunately I don't have any problems yet, but
it's much easier to magnify the screen than a book. 
To use a magnifier, at least the ones I've seen,  I'm
not sure you can see the whole page at once, but even
if you can, you have to move the magnifier to each
page. The machine my dad's friend has works in some
mysterious way--those of you who are partially sighted
can probably explain it better than I. It seemed to
me, when she tried to demonstrate for me, that one has
to put the book in the machine somehow and move it--or
maybe the kind of machine she has only does papers.
Anyway, the computer, as someone here pointed out  to
me (I'd never noticed it before and only enlarged the
font) has something you can put on the tool bar that
will magnify the whole document all the way up to
500%--and, as someone later told me, you can even
write in magnification numbers in between the numbers
that are already there.
