I was given one from my father who'd had given one to my mom. Both are 78.
I think the proper through line with all these is that ereaders are the ideal tech. Advanced enough that it's an improvement over what was available but simple enough that it doesn't complicate the task. They do one thing well and that's good enough. The one thing that aggravates me over here is the proliferation of excellent cell phones in Europe that have the same ideal. Almost no bells or whistles, just a basic phone, well engineered with excellent ergonomics -- large buttons, easy to read screen, etc. We need the same type of thing over here, in damn near everything, not just in ereaders.
