Incidentally, I tried placing my Kindle non-touch (the one with the 5-way controller) on a table and used my wrist bone to turn on wifi and open a book. I managed it with a few mistakes, and if you take it slow you can correct the inevitable mistakes. So part of how it would work would depend on how much fine motor control she has over the placement of her wrist bone, and whether the repetitive motion would become painful. The page-turn buttons were very easy with my wrist bone, and so were the directional arrows on the 5-way controller. The select button and the other buttons were too small/recessed to manage really easily that way, but (with some mistakes) it was possible. The power button on the non-touch is pretty much impossible to manage that way. Does she use a lunch tray or stand? If the carer can adjust an existing stand, place the kindle on it, turn it on, and (if needed; once per book) open the book for your friend, your friend might be able to handle page turns on her own, and ask for assistance again when the kindle needs to be removed. I'm assuming that if you get the Kindle Keyboard (having 3g seems paramount) that the page turn buttons are similarly sized (and that your friend would find them as easy to operate with her wrist bone, since it's size and discreteness of location that seems to make the most difference). If other people can manage the tasks that are not done very often (registration with an Amazon account; book acquisition, power on, and navigating to and opening books), it may be there would be very little else that would need to be done special.
