I'm thinking about giving an ereader as a present. The receiver has no compUter, no WiFi, and tech adverse. She would most likely only be using It for her library. This is for the U.S.

I can train her, but I don't want to be constantly supporting her. I am going to ask her if she would actually use it.

Since she doesn't have a computer (Or phone or tablet), I think a Kindle is out.

So I'm down to a Kobo. So would she be able to use a Kobo without a secondary device. Can you do everything you need to do for library books (browse, hold, checkout) solely from a Kobo eink ereader? Is the UI and speed good. I could picture her sitting in the library or parking liot and using the librarie's WiFi.

I'm not looking for recs on size/model, just whether it would be easy to use.

Thanks.
