My elderly mother does great with a Sony 650. The menus are very easy to navigate and the touch screen is an intuitively obvious interface. I handed her mine and she was able to go into my library, find a book, and open it with no help from me. It took about ten seconds to show her how to turn the page, increase the font size, and go back to the home screen and she was set. I didn't get my reader back until she'd purchased one for herself.

Since I live far away and she wanted library books, I also helped her with a library account and got her comfortable with finding a book, checking it out, and loading it on her reader. I think that knowledge is a little more shaky, but she is able to make it work.

I would recommend a lighted cover for whichever one you get. She always uses her light when she reads because it makes it easier for her to read it.
