Hi all

Im hoping that the community here might be able to help, or offer some advice.

I have a friend of mine who has recently suffered a brain injury. he has very limited motor skills, but is very aware otherwise. As a consequence he is bored to tears, being trapped in a frustraiting body.

One thing he can do is grip with one hand and press buttons.

I've already built him a stand for photos and letter people have written for him, he also appears to have retained the full ability to read and write, albiet slowly.

xmas is a way off and I want to do something special for him, as he would have made some ground by then, in rehabilitation (i hope)

One thought I had was the fact that you can blow text up large on eReaders so that he would have no trouble reading, however none of the models I have looked at have particularly large buttons, which alienates the elderly and physically limited target audience, for whom these devices would probably be quite good.

im comfortable with modding a device, its case and fitting bigger buttons, but before that is there any device that I might have missed that sounds ideal?, also can anyone think of any reason why resoldering new buttons in an oversized reenforced case wouldnt work?

Thanks in advance this is an unusual queston I realise.
