The RNIB estimates that one in eight of us in the UK cannot enjoy standard sized book print, because of sight problems, dyslexia, or disability that makes it difficult to hold a book or turn a page. So Large Print books, with 16 point type, are invaluable for any book lover who struggles with typical font sizes.

Sadly large print books can be difficult to find in bookshops and libraries, and online it is often unclear if you are actually getting the large print version. So, teaming up with The Large Print Bookshop, Lovereading.co.uk has created a special Large Print section on their website.  They have also used their unique 'multi format technology' to highlight large print versions as a new format. This partnership will bring book lovers using Lovereading.co.uk instant access to the largest selection, up to 25,000 titles, available in the UK. Combining physical Large Print books with Lovereading’s unique ability to offer Kindle, iBook and ePub eBooks, for those who prefer a digital format, makes Lovereading.co.uk the one stop shop for all readers looking for Large Print titles. Peter Crawshaw, Co-Founder and Director of Lovereading Ltd said 'integrating the large print books into our site builds on our approach of offering every format, physical and electronic, to our readers and it is also a vital service for an increasing number of readers'. Guy Garfit, owner of The Large Print Bookshop, said ‘We approached Lovereading because we were impressed that they offered a greater range of formats than any other website. Yet there was one omission – large print books – and we suggested that including these would make their website unrivalled in its comprehensiveness. We are delighted to be working with Lovereading and are excited that their involvement will make it much easier for readers to find large print editions’. With Lovereading's focus on readers and what they want, it is incredibly easy to find out if a large print edition is available of the title they are interested in. All a reader has to do is search for the book and then look at the 'Other Formats' box that appears on every book page. If they can see 'Large Print Book' just click it and they will be able to buy the title. What's more the majority of Large Print Books qualify for free postage! About one third of the large print titles available are print-on-demand titles, this means that they are never out of stock as they are printed just for you to a standard that makes them indistinguishable from any other book.   This use of new printing technology means many more Large Print Books are becoming available to satisfy the needs of the visually impaired and we will have the biggest selection of them right here on Lovereading.
