My mum has the beginnings of Alzheimers - thank goodness for the newest drugs available, they are working miracles. She still managed to master the Kindle 4. It just meant re-answering questions when necessary
without prefacing with answer with 'Don't you remember? I told you last time...' (I think asking anyone with memory problems 'Don't you remember?' is like asking a blind man 'Didn't you see that chair was in the way?)
A big minus for the Kindle Touch is that it doesn't have a back button and that it's easy to turn pages unintentionally. It's the reading equivalent of being dumped into an unfamiliar desert without a map. Does the Paperwhite have a back button or some equivalent?
