How good is their eyesight? What do they intend to read, in particular what ebook formats? I find PDFs virtually unreadable on my 360+, even zoomed. Reading a document with color is sadly disappointing on a black & white device, but a text-based (rather than image-based such as PDF) format is (to me) quite good on the 360+. Battery life is awesome on the 360+, and it is very lightweight. Holding heavier devices does get tiring, especially for someone with arthritis. HTH.
