Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments Anyone heard of ebook editions that are Large Print editions? Ran across this The Vampire Armand Ebook edition talking about typefaces publisher used and with "Large Print" and "nook" in edition field when revoking some ebooks that got changed to be nook editions (non-294-bnid ebooks with regular isbn-978 numbers)

The description is just what's at publisher for the isbn. (http://www.randomhouse.com/book/15371...) but seems strange to have typesetting remarks and large print notes on ebook edition.

This shows how my nook color displays book page when searching by the isbn on the "Nook Large Print edition":

nook book description

And I'm thinking that's a better description to use or one of the ones from non-large print editions. (Sample opened in nook was not large print).

But, I just wanted to doublecheck in case there is such a thing as large print ebooks..

Banjomike | 5166 comments There are certainly many large print PDF's which would be an "ebook" on Goodreads. I suppose if an epub or mobi was created with a large default font that might also be considered large print.


Debbie's Spurts (D.A.) | 6325 comments I'm positive this one is a standard ebook (epub) publisher sells for use with thousands of ereaders, tablets and apps. Not a pdf and unless full book is in a different font than the sample, was definitely not a large print edition.

Didn't know if someone had run across publishers or book sellers actually making large print edition ebooks versus letting the reader enlarge font to suit.

Or if someone might actually have this isbn full version (I only sampled) on one or more devices to know for sure.
