Several months ago, I offered an old lady from Alabama a private lesson over the phone on how to use her Kindle and my publications (they are more complicated than just any other book). I was surprised to hear how excited (that's the word) she was to have a Kindle. Computers scared her but the Kindle didn't. She was already doing pretty well with the basics (changing font sizes, buying/opening books, etc.). She said that it was easier for her to take the Kindle with her to church instead of her large-font Bible. Or yes, she also has to wheel an oxygen tank. She made my day. She sounded more upbeat than I do most days.
