We live 3 states apart so I'm not there to work with her to help her learn (she forgets what I teach her after I visit).
Kindle 2 is going to be the bridge. By having two K2's it will be easier <insert laugh here> for me to work with her over the phone. The Whipernet signal is stronger in her area on the K2 than it was on my K1 so I don't have to worry about getting her on the computer.
Now that the plastic is gone and she knows how to get into the Kindle store, it should be easier <insert a bigger laugh here>. Also my brother and sister can send her emails and pictures as "books" once I add their email addresses to her account. It's a baby step.

If she gets good Whispernet coverage there, she could get an EVDO modem for her computer. I think the service is $30 on top of your Sprint service. If she uses some other wireless provider, she could see if they have a similar deal. I think most do. Some allow you to tether your phone to your computer and use it as a modem, too.
