The Kindle Fire seems like way too much for her, and I'm a little afraid of the Nook being tied to Barnes & Noble, since who knows how long they'll be around. (It's also ridiculously expensive!)
Any suggestions? |
The Nook Color is the same price as the Kindle Fire: $199. So not sure what you mean by "ridiculously expensive". And you don't have to buy books from B&N, although for a lot of people this is the simplest way to get them. They can be bought from a variety of online stores and simply moved to it via cable. If you think the Fire is complicated, then the NC is probably the simplest mainstream color ereader you can find.
