Legible aims to improve accessibility to books for everyone. Designed by book lovers, it allows readers to enjoy their next favourite book using any web browser. Being web-enabled -- instead of relying on an app -- ensures that service is completely device-agnostic, meaning it does not need to worry about varying screen sizes for compatibility. The platform is optimized for smartphones and allows users to adjust fonts, text size, colour, and contrast, making it easy to read and navigate. With 96 percent of the Canadian population having access to the internet and around 30 million smartphones in use across the county, the service is accessible to a significant number of people.
