How hard is it to shop for books right on the paperwhite 4?
I'd buy her a paperwhite as a gift, but I don't see her often enough to be her tech support for buying/loading books. Her library might be able to help her use Overdrive.
I think there's still a laptop in the house, but she has to have her granddaughter help her when she wants to use it for family pictures on facebook.
Is getting her a paperwhite a bad idea?

My Dad's 85, and I had tried to get him into using the Kindle app on his tablet, but that didn't work for him. So I gave him my Paperwhite (and bought myself a Kobo Clara
) and he
loves it. It's so easy for him to use, and to browse. Admittedly, it's setup on our wifi, but still, if he can, anyone can
