Wonderful news for dyslexic folks. I can't imagine what it must be like to enjoy reading and have difficulties doing so.
Nice to read some good news for once!

That is excellent news! I have two dyslexic children, and it's really hard for both of them! I'll try having them read on their iPods so they might enjoy it a little 
I took to ebooks early on in part because I can re-set the text to make it easier to read.
Keep in mind though, that not all dyslexics have difficulty reading; some primarily have difficulty writing.

Hopefully technology that helps address that will appear soon, Medi.
I can definitelysympathize empathize with having trouble writing. *glances at recently-operated-on non-opposable thumb on writing hand* That one sucks. *glances at title of site we are all currently using*
ETA: *facepalm* And apparently I mixed up sympathize and empathize. That's not a learning disability but a side effect of having way too little coffee today.

One of my children has problems with both reading and writing, and another only has trouble with reading. They don't both have the same kind of trouble with the reading, though, so I need different ways of helping them. They do love stories, though, and I know they will be happy if they manage to read something exciting for themselves.
That's excellent, Lexxie. I hope you can find them the help they need. Might want to follow the research study links in the article in the OP and see if there are any linked articles to further research on the topic? Just a thought.
