I found online a recording where a Brother with "Masonic Books" read and recorded "Morals and Dogma" from the beginning to the 23rd Degree in Scottish Rite. I don't know if he continued. I enlarged my hard copy of the book 190 percent so that it fit on 11 by 17 ledger paper .which made it much easier to read along while listening to the audio. I am planning on playing small digestible snippets of the audio in Lodge when in the East again and affording the brothers the relevant ledger sheet so they can read along while listening and then follow it with discussion. Should make for some interesting Masonic education. .
Blowing up the text is a superb idea on the older versions. The type on them is so small it can be a pain to read, at least for me. The newer version from the Scottish Rite uses a much larger font, with more contrast, so is much more comfortable to read. It's also though a massive book.
I think that your plan sounds like an excellent thing to try for education in the Lodge. M&D is a good candidate to get through one snippet at a time, so I imagine you are right, good digestible bits should be fairly easily found.
And yet...here we are.

My copy is a paperback that my wife ordered for me and the font is almost impossible to read.
I've got one of the old time red ones like pictured in the post. It's hard to read. But, it belonged to the SGIG of WA, so that's super cool.
