Works well for reading text.
This is absolutely the best magnifying tool I have found to use when I read small print in a book.  I have distorted vision in one eye, so it's hard to read most texts.  This magnifies it enough to help me read without ruining the quality of the text.  It lights up to help you see it better.  I love that I can just hold it over the text and slide it as I read.  It works particularly well with 2 column text.  I use it every night to read my Bible.  I've tried so many different types of magnifiers, but this one works wonders for me.  I'm getting ready to order one for my husband.
