Okay. My mom (81 years old) has been a very avid reader ever Nonetheless - I think - for either her birthday or Anyone know anything about these cute little beasties?
since the sun burst into flames. So about once a week
she goes to, yes, the library.
She likes mystery, history and romance.
Decades ago I bought her every Agatha Christie novel
that I thought she had not read. (I missed on a few -
she HAD read them.)
Christmas - I am going to buy her a Kindle.
Being an avid reader as she is - she is the perfect
candidate for one.
Any help would be appreciated!

I have one,and I love it. Mine is the Kindle PaperWhite version,and the screen is backlit so there is no real glare and you can still read if the lights are out. Adjustable font sizes for people with vision problems,and you get all sorts of free book downloads from Amazon if you are a Prime member. Besides that there are several places on the web you can download books for free. I probably have 50 or so free books on my Kindle right now. BTW,amazon is always running a sale of some kind on different Kindles. I think I paid $79.95 for mine a couple of years ago on sale,but have seen it on sale for as long as $59.95. Just looked a few minutes ago and they are running at $129 and up.
My mom has a Kindle in her future... Sounds like the 'PaperWhite' is the way to go...
The upscale ones have features the paperwhite doesn't have,but I'm cheap and the paperwhite does everything I want it to do. I was to read books on it,period. Nothing else. Make sure you get her a Amazon Prime Account. That way she gets free books,movies,and tv shows from amazon,plus free shipping on anything they sell and ship.

Exactly. I'm looking for SIMPLE here. EDIT: Actually, I'm not even sure that we should try it at ALL.
Okay.

I don't want to confuse my Mom.
The last thing I want to to do is cause
her - and me - discombobulation.
This is my 81 year old mother we're talking about here.
She is mechanically DISinclined. Does NOT understand machines. At all.
THAT'S where we're at. But she loves to read. See the dilemma?
