Sometimes I need to go back as far as to explain what a file and folder is, and how to copy them... In worst cases I just buy the content for them...
And therein lies the secret of Kindle's success.
No computer literacy required.

BTW, 20% of US households have no PC (which means no wifi either) so that is 20% of the potential market that Adept-based ereaders are automatically shut out of.
Somebody had better do something to get PCs out of the ebook loop if the Adept ecosystem is to endure.
