Amazon improves Kindle accessibility with new text spacing adjustments
- Amazon released a new software update for recent Kindle models focusing on improving text and line spacing adjustments to enhance legibility and accessibility.
- The update includes significant upgrades for adjusting text and line spacing on Kindle models, benefiting users with visual impairments and dyslexia.
- The 5.18.3 software update is compatible with Kindle Scribes, Kindle Colorsoft, and 11th and 12th generation models of the basic Kindle and Paperwhite.
- Amazon is gradually rolling out the update via the Kindle's automatic updates system, but manual updates are available for users who prefer immediate access.
- Previously, Kindles only offered limited line spacing options; the new update introduces four size options for adjusting line spacing, paragraph spacing, word spacing, and character spacing.
- The enhanced text and line spacing adjustments are accessed by selecting the 'Font' section, providing more customization options for users.
- While Kindle models now offer improved spacing adjustments, competitor Kobo devices still provide more font size, line spacing, and margin adjustment options.
- Despite offering fewer adjustment options than Kobo devices, recent Kindle models could be preferred options for users with visual impairments or dyslexia.
