[The inspiration for creating large-print boldface books] My mother is hard of hearing and doesn't watch TV, but she loves reading and was far from dementia. Then, one day, she was unable to read the fine Ming font, and began spending the whole day in a daze. Worried about developing dementia, she tried magnifying glasses and glasses, but nothing worked, and she refused to read large-print fineface books either. As a test, I published a large-print boldface book on Kindle and showed it to her. She was delighted, saying, "I can read this without glasses!" I read it all in one day, and said, "Please keep reading for the next one" (lol). I, the editor, had stopped reading because I developed cataracts and the text became blurry, but the bold text made it easy to read, so I remembered the joy of turning the next page. I would be happy if I could bring the joy of reading back to those whose eyes have started to blur. Even if you don't read much and are tired of the small text on your smartphone, I would recommend it! I hope you will experience the thrill of consuming a novel in one go.
