Thanks for the tip.

'Fraid so, and better to try it first. I'm sure anyone with a laptop and a 3G phone would be glad to help you out.

My phone may be 3G - I'm not sure. I haven't got a laptop. Struggling to think of anyone who does at the moment.
Nice one - I would never have even thought of looking there - didn't know they showed offers.

Hope I don't offend you, as I know you want to give this as a gift, but if money is a bit tight, have you looked into the possibility of grants for your friend? Specific charities that might be worth approaching are Arthritis Care and the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society, and more general ones include your local Lions Club and Rotary Club. Also local councillors might be worth asking.

No of course I'm not offended - it's good of you to take the time to find that. This is something I will tentatively check out. I'm not on the breadline just yet though so really I'd be happy to buy the reader at this point. That said, if there's money available for that, perhaps I could spend the money on something else useful - books!
Great - thanks for tracking that down - will have a read.
Cheers,
David.
