Bond Novels Questions

This is a bit left field, but here goes.

I was wondering if the IF novels are available in large type? My old eyes won't allow me to read my books anymore without considerable strain.
I've made an attempt at googling but with no luck, however, I'm not brilliant at internet searching so in the hope that I've missed something.

I listen to the audiobooks but, for me, it's not the same enjoyable experience as having a book in my hands.

Further to this. Does anyone know how to magnify the text on a PC?

Mod edit: moved to proper category + double post merged + title changed to give this thread a bigger scope.

    Yes, there is, but you're going to have to search for used books. There doesn't seem to be any in print, the most recent (and only?) complete set was apparently released in 2008 by Clipper Large Print. Read more about it here:

    Happy hunting!

    @Kronsteen thanks for that.

    I've just had a lightbulb moment. I can get the IF books on kindle and magnify the text to my heart's content!

    Not exactly the 'book' feel, but the written word nonetheless!

    I think you can change the text size using the increase text size tab on your PC, @stag.

    Thanks Dragonpol. despite wearing Hubble telescope strength reading glasses I really struggle to read the posts here so stay away from the long ones.

    I can't see any 'increase text size' button on my laptop though? I wonder if it's a 'crtl'+a certain key?

    In a web browser it should be 'ctrl & + together', yes.

    Excellent! That's a great way to go!

    Yes, it might be that. I'll have to check on my tablet laptop later. Just posting on the smartphone currently.

    That's great. I knew someone here would know how to do it. They're a talented bunch. :)
