Buy cheap reading glasses, they're available all over the place. I need them towards the end of the day or after I've spent too much time reading or playing a game on my phone.

I get what you're saying, but it's kind of book dependent. You're already not contributing to the author by reading a book secondhand, but what's the author's view on that? If it's a Cory Doctorow book, sure, I'd do it, he'd encourage it. Or check it out from a library. Other than that sort of a scenario, it's hard to support, but I can see what you're getting at. I'm not really going to say one way or the other.

I was under the impression that you need a prescription to get reading glasses? Or do mean the magnification style ones?

Reading glasses are the magnifying over the counter ones. No prescription needed. Someone else's were lying around my place so I tried them on a whim, and I didn't realize how big of a difference they can make!
