However, that is not an obstacle to using them that way.

Chromecasting my Fire HD 8 to my 50″ TV.Īlthough many audio and video apps support Google casting, most ebook apps do not. It even works on Amazon Fire tablets (or at least, Fires that have had the Google Play utilities sideloaded). Devices that don’t have it built in can download Google Home and enable it that way.

Recent versions of the Android OS have Chromecast mirroring built directly in, accessible from the pull-down icon tray. For Android users, the Chromecast is probably the best bet.

I’m going to go over a couple of the possible ways to do it here. However, times have changed, and it’s now pretty simple to read ebooks on a big screen television, with nearly no special equipment required (apart from the television). I remember seeing such a computer at a library or computer lab once–a device expressly reserved for use by patrons with poor vision. It wasn’t so long ago that over-sized computer monitors to aid the visually impaired were pretty rare and expensive.
