## Why

These options are great for you! Enlarging the text when your eyes get tired, you have visual challenges, or you are distracted. Adjusting the Reading Speed allows you to make changes depending on what you are reading. You may want the Reading Speed to be faster, or if you are learning a new language, slow the Reading Speed down.

## When

When you come across difficult material, try slowing down the speed and see if that helps your understanding. Or, if you are reading for pleasure, you may want to increase the speed as you enjoy your book. Enlarge the text if you're feeling distracted or tired.
