'So, we're up to THREE of these now? Oh dear...'
Obviously, these are total non-techie newbies. Any ideas on how to explain/where to start without freaking them out? |
These are also people who probably do not need an ebook reader of any kind. I would hazard that the only (repeat ONLY) reason that they even think they need one is because it was recommended by Oprah.
I suggest that they stick with what they know, which is regular old books, until they are willing to do their own research into the matter, find out if they actually need to be reading ebooks, and what kind will best suit their needs.
Dispatched their husbands indeed!! What, are they completely brain dead? Do they have to have a man do everything for them?
