Is this product appropriate for the blind braille readers?

yes, but only on Southern California freeways, where:1) blind drivers seem to proliferate2) nothing could be done to lower the standard of driving for both blind or sighted driversI hope that helps.

I believe the surface of this product is perfect for Braille reading. It may prove difficult if the product is not horizontal.

I wouldn't use it for reading unless there really wasn't any other lighting available, camping perhaps. But only in a limited capacity.

Yes, I think it will be helpful. Perhaps not the best solution, but worth a try. Remember, it's just a tiny magnifying glass. So, you have to get it at just the right position for your eyes, and then you have to move it if the clue is larger than the set magnifying area. Doing that for every clue will get tiresome. A better solution? How about a pair of readers with the led lights on the sides? That's what I prefer.

Yes this lamp is excellent for reading. Less strain on eyes. The full spectrum light makes reading easier. I also use mine for very detailed needlepoint and charts that can be difficult to read.

If you have a steady hand this will work for you, but I'd suggest opera type telescopic glasses for this use. - (vision impaired myself) and use this for street signs, bus numbers, shop signs etc.

I don't think they would work for that. I know I cannot use them to read with. But I do love the look of them.

Yes. It's ideal for any kind of small print. My Mom is 90% blind due to glaucoma and still manages to do a lot of reading by connecting this device to the TV or by plain scanning and reading directly from it. I strongly recommend it also because it is quite durable and can take a few drops etc which are bound to happen when older people handle objects. Hope this has been useful.

I use it for reading many things. However, I think it would be difficult to use it to read a book. You would want a larger opening so you could at least read a full line across a book sized page. Nevertheless, it is a very nice and very versatile magnifying lamp.

Yes. In fact, you need some kind of light source to use this reader (or any other E ink-based reader).

Hello Gina! This is well worth the money. My husband absolutely loves it - with his slight vision problems, this is perfect for him to read small print. Packaging is with bubble wrap. For gift giving, you may want to place in a small box gift wrapped or, like me, use a small decorative gift bag for the occasion. Know your recipient will love it - you need only to give with love. Good luck!!

I would use it at night to nurse my daughter and sometimes I thought I was too bright and would switch colors for less light. So yes. I think your son could read with it. My daughter uses it to look at her books now. She is 16 months.

Yes Im sure it would be fine as a reading lamp. Its actually better than one of the Ott light (reading lamp brand) that I have.

I have had it very long and use it for the magnification. It would probably work well for reading if positioned well. It's a little top heavy because of the magnifying glass.

I'm not sure about that. I bought it for a friend's sister who is legally blind and I don't have her phone #; besides she would not be able to answer the question. Sorry, hope you find your answer!

This is the most basic reader, I use it to download books from my local library.You can change the font size and it has a dictionary. It is good for me but if youwant lights and whistles, this is NOT the one.

I have two of these, both put on small jelly jars and YES, I could read using ONE of them. the other seemed to be weaker. Honest answer!

Should not be a problem. What might also help someone who has limited vision is a card stand, a platform you can make or buy that holds cards upright. It makes cards easier to see because they do not have to overlap as they must in your hand.
