MagniPros 2X Magnifying Bar Magnifier Ruler with Guide Line(so You Won't Miss a line) Ideal for Reading Small Prints and Document

I had my doubts about this since I know that 2x magnification isn't a lot. But, I also knew that more than 2x causes distortion, and the reviews of other bars with higher magnification revealed that it was an issue. Alas, I was not disappointed and am very pleased.This is perfect for any sized book. Small enough to use on a 6" book, but can be used on large ones as well. You'll have to move it sideways across the page in books larger than 10", but it slides effortlessly. The magnification is perfect and clear with no wiggling and jiggling the bar around (like the old thermometers you had to hold at just the right angle to read the numbers). The size enables you to sit in a chair and read with the book leaning forward because it's easy to hold the bar on the page. The best reading, though, is with the book on a flat surface, untouched, meaning you have to be sitting or standing high enough above the book to look down on it. Since we purchased this for reading small print in large theological books, it's perfect. Works great for other books with small print, too.Planning on getting the longer one for the big books and blueprints so there's no fighting over this one. Great purchase!

Bought this for my wife as she has trouble with fine print and often with the print sizes of some books. I looked at many devices for reading, but could not find any that did not have to be held up off the page to work, a rather tiring practice if reading for any length of time. But this magnifier bar lays right on the page, and this makes it hugely convenient and effortless to use. The magnification rate is listed at 2X, but it appears more like 3X in actuality. Whatever the rate, my wife loves it and enjoys reading much more now. This is a quality device, and a great value for the price. I highly recommend it.

Does what it says but didn’t expect it to be like 5” long

This was prescribed by therapists after my husbands accident; it allows him to read and feel a little more normal.

Use this as I crochet and it helps me find my place as I crochet row to row. Now I have less mistakes as I find my place so easily.

I'm a bookkeeper and I work with documents that have a lot of small print and multiple lines. This is a great tool to help out with the small print and the highlighter helps me keep on track as I move through several lines on multiple document pages. My husband borrowed it one day and he liked it so much I had trouble getting it back. I ordered one for his birthday. The only recommendation I have is that I would like to see a wider magnifier to go across a full 8.5" wide page.

I am disappointed. The magnifier bar does not make the print appear as large as I was expecting.

I recently had a stroke that has affected some of my peripheral vision creating a real challenge to reading book face print. The MagniPros 2X Magnifying Bar Magnifier Ruler with Guide Line has given me my reading skills again. The hi-lite yellow bar in the reading field makes it easy to stay on the line and read almost as fast as I was reading prior to my stroke. If you need help reading fine print or book-face type get this magnifier you will not regret it!
