Need a replacement to the Kindle DX for my Dad
The one I gave him died and he is really missing having a book reader. I am trying to decide on getting him a Paperwhite or a Kobo Aura. The issue is that I usually send him books to read from here in China to Canada (where he is) and Amazon makes it quite simple to do so. However, the Kindle does not connect to Canadian libraries. How simple is it to send files to the Kobo wirelessly and from a different country?

Also, he has arthritis and now has big thick fingers. How well will he be able to use the new touchscreen readers? He liked the buttons on the DX but I know that buttons seemed to have vanished forever from readers, which is a shame.

Any advice?
