If you have a laptop/PC (Best way to shop on Amazon), then there is easy to use www.gutenberg.org with 58,000+ out of copyright books (The 88 yo can manage that but often can't manage email). Also www.smashwords.com (treats authors better than Amazon) for buying and free titles. All legitimate.
I've loaned my (deregistered) Kindle DXG to someone in 70s with Macular Degeneration to see how they manage. He's not fussed on the Text to Speech (yet, and hopes he won't need that). |
The ongoing cost of books isn't an issue, I'll be lucky if I can get her started with Amazon successfully. Maybe Overdrive if I go with her to the library once after she's comfortable with Amazon.
She's just not good enough with web stuff to throw additional web sites at her.
This doesn't need to be done by Christmas, so there's time to figure this out, but I do want to catch the sale price on the paperwhite.
