Explanation:
Un libro ad Alta Leggibilità è un libro accessibile anche a chi ha specifiche difficoltà di lettura – come i dislessici – ma che in generale rende più agevole la lettura di tutti....

L’Alta Leggibilità agisce essenzialmente su due livelli:

l’abbattimento delle barriere tipografiche
la comprensibilità del testo
alta leggibilita def-web
Abbattere le barriere tipografiche...

testo non giustificato, con lunghezza irregolare delle righe per facilitare il passaggio da una riga all’altra e per evitare la divisione in sillabe;
paragrafi spaziati che offrono a chi legge dei traguardi di lettura facilmente raggiungibili;
carta color crema che non dà riflessi e di uno spessore tale da scongiurare la trasparenza del verso della pagina;
l’uso di uno specifico carattere di stampa (la font biancoenero®) che garantisca la massima chiarezza e aiuti a confondere il meno possibile le lettere.

easy reading book


Explanation:
It's a book also accessible to those with specific reading difficulties - such as dyslexics - but which in general makes it easier for everyone to read.

an eminently readable book


Explanation:
The solution I have opted for is justified by its avoidance of a much too literal rendering of "alta leggibilità" into "high readability": indeed, if such an option is stilted, the adverb+ adjective collocation "eminently readable" is, in my humble opinion, stylistically more acceptable.
