I have terrible vision, but it is excellent closeup if I remove my glasses. So it works better than well for me, but I can understand that people with different vision problems could find it unusable.

Zooming is overhyped as a solution. If you zoom, you have to scroll to the side to read many things.

Same here. I have selected to forego bifocals, so I either peer under my glasses' lens or remove them. No problem. But as the original poster said, yo each his own. I'm sorry he didn't enjoy the N800 experience.

I know if I hadn't found this forum I would have pro'ly bounced mine back at the retailer who sold me mine too.

Sorry to hear that dude ( < O/P ).

Somewhere on this board is simple way to edit Opera's default font size. (If I find the thread later I will post it. )
It's not laid out so concisely for MicroB I found in my searches...

I often thought it should be one of the first things a new user would want to do and could be made a lot easier.

I'm sorry to hear about the OP's issues.

I'm a senior citizen with macular degeneration in one eye and weak vision in the other. I've had no problems using the N800 (yet). But, each to their own, and I wish OP best and hope the return to buy.com occurs w/o problems!

Dude, 34 is not old. I'm 37 with myopia, astigmatism and keratoconus, and don't have any problems using the tablet, even at night without visual correction.

Shimmering and headaches? I gather you've let other people look at the screen, and they don't have any problem? Otherwise, it could very well be a faulty backlight.

Anyway, return it, eat the loss.

Gad - claiming your old at 34 is a shame. I'm 56 and hope to get old.
Definitely see if anyone else claims problems with the screen, it might help you return it if others find it "shimmers" and you talk to a CSR who might cut your 15%.
