Maybe one day she figuers out how to change books too. But for now, I will do that for here. She is simply happy being able to read again, and not feeling that useless anymore. I think we cannot imagine what it means for a person to loose step by step all the abilities you used to have.
The older you get, the less you can do. That is sad. People getting older and older but their bodys are not constructed to become that old.
Keeping books in collections of 9 (or 10 without pictures) might make it simpler. not to overload the device and make it hard. or just keeping only 9 books on the device if she cant figure out how to turn the shelf pages. its extremely easy.

go home, look at your books, and touch the one you want to read.
