These days, people don’t like to read books anymore! Some say it’s a bad thing, and I agree, some consider this activity to be boring and useless, as books cannot teach us how to live our lives and what to do in certain situations. They say, in addition, that experience makes it all, so we don’t need books for anything. Books are knowledge, and it’s a reason good enough for me to continue reading as much as I can.

But what can people do when they’re caught in the middle of a desperate situation that doesn’t allow them to read? Because it can happen, you know? You can use the EzRead, a device that seems to be the result of a futuristic era, where fiction is more familiar than reality.



EzRead is actually a scanner that allows you to read books on television. And why would you like to do this? Well, probably if your sight isn’t as good as it was when you were twenty, I suppose, ‘cause I see no other reason for someone to prefer reading on the television.

“Cooler than books on tape and way more fun than subtitles, EzRead transforms your reading material into televised material.”

The only thing you are supposed to do is to just place the device on a book, magazine, a newspaper, or whatever you might want to read, and you’ll have a magnified image displayed on your screen. Not to mention it will be in full color and illuminated. Having the text enlarged, it will be easier for you to read. This way, puzzling labels on prescription bottles out won’t be a problem from now on!

What you should know is that the magnification is directly proportional to the size of your TV display. So, if you have a 14 inch monitor, the images will be magnified to 5.3X, then to 6.5X with a 17 inch monitor, to 8X on a 21 inch, to 10.3X on a 27 inch and to 12.2X on a 32 inch display. The device runs on three AAA batteries which are not included in the package or on the supplied A/C power adapter.

The EzRead is available for purchase for $99.95.
