IKEA is great at making things small! (Claes Ohlsson is even worse, but probably less internationally known).
The first ting I do when buying something from IKEA, or CO, is to put the instructions booklet on the scanner, at least at 600 dpi, so that even that 4pt text can be scaled up to something readable.
With that digital enlargement I can also increase contrast, e.g. of medium gray printed on a light gray background. I guess that color blind users might want to alter the palette as well; I do not have that need.

I was gonna suggest, if it's just a paragraph or two, that you don't need to hang on, just take a picture with your phone and zoom in.
Otherwise yeah, doing a 'proper' job with a scanner may be the way to go.

Depending on the amount you read, you may think of some arm to hold the glass for you...
And maybe a 2 time magnification won't be enough... check it on a scanned page on your computer screen to see how much magnification you need...

I've got that one, only in white. I'm very satisfied with it.

I have one of these: desktop magnifying glass with light - Google Search[^]
The combination of my age, losing my right eye a couple of years ago, and fairly poor vision in the remaining left eye, means I have problems with close-up tasks. The desktop magnifiers are great because then you can use both hands to move whatever you're looking at around.

But the glass with still remain half-full or -empty.

In my case, it goes to all empty quite fast.
My glasses are made for European half liters. I have a taste for English beer(*), and some of it is sold in cans of "Imperial pint" size; 0.568 liters. So I really could use a glass magnifier, to fit an entire can into my glass. Until now, I haven't been able to find one that can do the job, so I probably have to buy new glasses.

There are two schools of thought. Those with a background in business see developers as commodities and fully believe that programmers will program themselves out of a job field. The idea is that in some distant future, jobs like project manager, product manager, and marketing manager will still be critical but programmers themselves will be extinct as a result of the tools they created.
The other school of thought is hard to understand because the programmers are laughing so hard they can’t talk.

That makes me think of this old song (probably from before your time  ):
Quote: Girls are dancing all around them just for me
And the party wouldn't swing if not for me
I've made you hearts jump, I've caused a heat
I'm in demand I am the beat
Look - I am the beat 1981 - YouTube[^]

Never heard of them, don't know the song either.
All I can say is their logo reminds me of Star Wars
