Probaly better off getting a Wireless Laptop with a large high resolution display or if a large screen 1080 HD TV is available connecting the Laptop to this. Then install the Opera Browser (turn up the magnification upto say 300% in the bottom right hand corner depending on the monitor display size - Internet Explorer has the same facility) then access news pages via their mobile WAP webpages. You don't then get issues with side to side web page display issues and very few annoying adverts etc which can confuse matters. The opera browser also allows text to audio speech as well. WAP portals tend to be very fast and efficient because they were designed for slow 2-2.5G wireless mobile handsets with limited bandwidth requirements. I suspect that the Kindle is just a glorified WAP browser anyway.
