Not really, because the introductory instructions that the Kindle plays through when you first turn it on tell you how to open a book, and the "User Guide" is the only book that's on the Kindle initially. So you really have nothing to read OTHER than the User Guide (which you've just been told how to open...) .

I was just making the point, really, that age has little if anything to do with technical competence. My next-door neighbour is in his 90s, has been a radio amateur for 60+ years, and builds his own PCs from components.
