But Ms. Broughton says she can't recommend the Kindle to people who aren't technically savvy and might want to purchase their books anywhere other than the Amazon store.
I bought my 75-year old mother a Kindle last Christmas. She loves it and unlike her PC, which we need to reformat every few months (and she only uses it for email), she has been able to use it without issue.

She doesn't want to purchase books anywhere else BECAUSE she is not tech-savvy. I thought about getting her a Sony, because I love mine...but know that hooking up a reader to a laptop and transferring books is more than she would want to do.

P.S. I have her on my account so we can share books just as we have for decades. And unlike paper, it doesn't require boxing them up and mailing
