I'm in the market for an ebook reader. I'm thinking of getting one for my 83 year old mother. So obviously, there are different considerations for her than would be for someone younger.
1. The font needs to be able to be made good size, as well as the menus. And the words need to be very crisp on the page.
2. Don't care one bit about a touch screen, as long as it is easy and ergonomic to push a button to change a page.
3. She lives 4 hours away from me. Obviously I can't be there to load her books on. I need to be able to load up a SD card and mail it to her. The bigger the better.
4. Doesn't need to have any Whispernet, or what ever you want to call it. No internet access needed.
5. User replaceable battery is *very* important!
6. Many of the books I will be providing for her will be PDFs. Think library type books.
7. Simple simple simple simple to use. Did I mention simple?
Now, in case you are wondering why I put this under this topic instead of making a new one is because I am wondering which would be better for her, the 5" Pocket Pro or the 6" Mentor Lite? Are they both basicly the same machine, except for screen size. And, is the Mentor Lite available yet? If so, where from?
Thanks so much for reading this and giving me your opinion. There are so many readers out there it is hard to make a decision. But, I think I have narrowed it down between these two and the Sony PRC-600 (since the 505 isn't available any longer). At least if I can decide between the two Astaks then that will be one more off my list!
