I'm with ya! I use the cell phone camera mode to read menus in the restaurant, with small print and low light, it's a drag. And I am a graduate of the "Leo Getz School of No Drive Thru". I walk in.

A cell phone “flashlight” is helpful too. Serious about crackers. | |||

Yeah. I can turn that on or off while using the "camera", if I need it. The CCD's are pretty good without it most of the time. But I don't use it in the movie theater anymore, I just move closer, cuz I can't hear the sound over all the yelling...

Have you tried reading the print on a medicine bottle lately? Especially since they have to print it in at least two languages? And if you try to use a magnifier, you can only see one tiny part at at time since it curves around the little bottle. _________________________ “Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. –Daniel Webster (1782-1852)" | |||

I can’t read things at grocery store either. I carry a Streamlight Micro and pull it out at the stores and restaurants. I can read a little better if it’s illuminated. But some things are so small even that doesn’t work. | |||

Apple phones have a magnifier app built in. When enabled triple click home button to start Magnifier. It is under Settings. | |||

I use the free iPhone app Magnifying Glass with Light for really tiny stuff. Most of the time I find it easiest to just use the camera to take a picture, then pinch and zoom on the pic as needed. | |||

My gripe is the grocery store and items on the bottom shelf. Since I need to use the window part of my bifocal (tilt my head back) to read it, I practically have to get on my knees. And part of the price sticker is up under a slight overhang on the front of the shelf. I usually just pull the sticker off to read it, and then try to stick it back where it was. When in doubt, mumble | |||

this is not a rant, ( that would have been placed in the "Whats your deal " section ) Rants are something that you want to go bat shit crazy about , something that you want support from the other members about. and want no disagreements about. this is a statement, about difficulty and inconvenience, agree or don't agree, I don't care a butt whistle , either way.
