Bearing in mind that I'm a fairly unsophisticated user, if I were to buy a Kindle for someone else who's in hospital, the thing I'm most likely to do is register it to my own Amazon account. That way the friend can use it straight away with the books I have loaded.
But Amazon have my credit card details and I don't know whether there's a way to block that particular Kindle from buying books. And I doubt whether that would fit with Amazon's business model.
So I bought the Kobo, and registered it to my own address. As I don't have any card registered to the Kobo account it all seems fairly good.
And I must say - as I have the Kobo to use myself for a couple of weeks (I'm currently in quarantine) - it seems a more user-friendly reader than the Kindle I have had for years. But obviously that's just a matter of opinion.
