Thank you for such prompt replies.
Since m-i-l is used to the Kindle interface, I guess that's where we begin, but I realise that there's a wider choice now than when we were when we last purchased an e reader and of course, the parameters have changed with her recent diagnosis. What your answers have prompted me to do is to give her one of our tablets to try (we both have Android 10" screens) to see whether the reflection of the shiny screen is an issue. Of course, one of the benefits of an e reader vs a tablet is the relative weights - holding a tablet for any length of time could be uncomfortable and though we could rig up some kind of stand or support, right now we are trying to minimise the impact of any changes in "normal" life. So, sitting in an easy chair and picking up a book to read for the odd ten minutes is still something she can do without the need to make elaborate arrangements.
Another question - will changing from Kindle to another e reader mean losing all the books she already has on her Kindle account?
Lots to think about!
