Does small and compacted print discourage you from reading?

[Timea]

It does bother me, but I will still read the book, it will only take longer because my eyes get tired easily ...

It isn't appealing but if the content is good you are hooked anyway!

I do struggle with small, compact print. I tend to use my kindle more now so I can adjust the font. My eyes don't get as tired and I can read more

[laureng]

If the book looks like a good one, then I will put up with the small print. But if it is really bothering me, than I will just switch to my Kindle (especially if the book is a classic one.)

[thenameisZelda]

Same here. I can't handle the small print. Too much straining on already bad eyes.

[ipekbunsal]

Yes, I hate it. I never choose that kind of a book :/

[okayLexi]

YES! My eyes are terrible. I walked into the eye doctor once and the assistant asked me where my dog and cane was. I suppose she thought it was amusing but I, at the time, found it terrifying. I wear both glasses and contacts but still find it difficult to read small print. My eyes get tired easily and the words all seem to run together after a while. With that being said I do find it easier to read when wearing my glasses. I'm not sure why (I also would rather drive, especially at night, wearing glasses).

[RobertManchester]

Yes. I find it very annoying.

Yes it sure does for me
Though that's where a book on a tablet/e-reader comes in handy

[allesha]

Usually, yes. However, if the summary of the book sounds really good, or if it is a highly recommended book, I'll put up with the small and compacted print.

This about sums it up for me as well.

[Apogea]

If print is too small and compacted, I cannot really read what it says!
Well, I can read it, but I end up re-reading everything over and over again...

[cia1018]

I definitely "approach" the book differently. If the print is small and compact I prepare myself for lots of details and probably a slow start. Ridiculous preconceptions, I know. One of the reasons I love reading is to find out if my preconceptions were right!

[cyndiha11]

Yes, I hate small print. I'm glad I do most of my reading on an e-reader now, so I can change the size of the print to whatever I want.

[darkfae2317]

Yes it does, I wear reading glasses so small print makes it harder to read

[milliethom]

Small print is an absolute no-no for me. My eyesight just isn't good enough for it, even with glasses! I suppose I managed it well enough years ago, but now I'm just too old! My Kindle's a blessing in that respect. It's so easy to alter the print size.

[Airam Velarde]

Yes, small print discourages me from reading. It strains my eyes too much and afterwards I'll start having headaches.
