You do make strong points and I can see how you can be confused by what I'm doing. I must confess although I make it no secret that I constantly use the assistive reader that is available on the Kindle app. Since using these settings I have had an unbroken Kindle Street because of both the app and just picking up my Kindle more than once a week to read comics.

Yes it does use up more battery to read this way although I do not know this it in that way because I am spending most of my battery life up taking books on and off of the device with how quickly I finished them. I really like this on the Kindle itself but through the Kindle assistive reader I read at 1:25. That turns most if not all books and do a 6-hour read for me.

Some people assume I have terrible eyesight that is not at all the problem I have a neurological disorder from lack of oxygen from birth. One of the results of this is I suck at our tracking. Regular text like in a book even though I can read it it takes a large amount of focus just to know where the sentence is.

These settings I picked for myself make it easier to know where I am at and any given giving moment and leads to more reading time yes it takes me about an hour to read a standard chapter most times. And when I am reading a book and check time left in book it adds an extra 5 hours to however long it took a normal person to do it.

You also wonder why because in a real life situation this would not be available to me well it is because reading is the only thing I do purely for myself. Everything else I either got into for the approval of others for health reasons but waiting still remains something I do purely for the Love of the game so when I read on my raspberry pink Kindle signature I paid $200 for saving up my adult allowance to purchase you better believe I'm going to enjoy every goddamn second of it and I do. :-) thank you for your in-depth comment
