FOR THE VISUALLY CHALLENGED...

This magazine is a compilation of articles and stories from other magazines. They run the gamut from science, medical, adventure, business, sports, you name it. It seems to focus somewhat on the inspirational and motivational. It also has numerous features that are sure to jar the reader's funny bone and are derived from the contributions of its readers. All in all, it is a nice little package of information and features that is sure to be read from cover to cover. It is a very mainstream magazine designed to have broad appeal and, consequently, is not intellectually demanding of its reader.

Its large print enables those who are visually challenged to enjoy it. The only caveat is that this large print version is the size of a regular magazine rather than pocket-sized, as is the smaller print version. Still, this large print version enables those who had previously enjoyed the pocket version but who now, perhaps due to age, find its small print difficult to read, to continue to enjoy the magazine.

Expensive

Although RD has always been a good read the large print edition contains less articles than the small print edition. I can't see why they need to charge DOUBLE the price ($30.)of a normal subscription ($15.). It seems that the people who need the large print the most can least afford the higher price.

RIP OFF

I ordered this magazine for my mother in law for mother's day. It was never received. Very embarrassing on our part. Have emailed both amazon and reader's digest, no action taken. I found out later that my mother in law has tried and PAID for a subscription to this magazine twice before but NEVER RECEIVED IT! BEWARE! They are not trustworthy. Very disappointed in the magazine and in Amazon.com for handling it.
