You've probably already tried this, but I found that I could read smaller text more easily/with no strain if I increased the spacing between the lines / otherwise fiddled with the white space settings.

Amazon's non-express shipping is still pretty good (and mostly we just go for that). My brother swears by Google's new shopping thing, but then, he would :P Still, they really do seem to do same-day delivery (free for now, though ultimately they'll be charging for it, I think), and F claims their return policies are flexible, too.
