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.
While I'm not anywhere near 85 (45 yrs to go) I agree that a Kindle Bible is very useful. I also use such a Bible in church. I just got a new one through Amazon that I just have to type the 1st 3 letters followed by chapter and verse #'s to get to any point in it. (i.e. Psa23.1 for Psalms 23 verse 1 for example). Much easier than having to flip back and forth in the actual paper book to find verses during church services. I agree with the others who recommend the Kindle 3 too. It's not too heavy and is easy to use.
