Jeff, my father is 88 and I have discussed with him ereader devices. Although I am not a Kindle fan, I thought that might be a good choice for him. He rejected it because of the keyboard and the additional real estate that he has to hold.
As much as I personally dislike the Nook and am displeased with how B&N treats its members when it comes to buying the Nook and ebooks, this turned out to be the best choice for him. Easy to use easy to hold, wireless, and able to buy from a bookstore with which he is familiar. Then there is the comfort factor -- there is a B&N store not far from him so he feels he can go there is he has any questions. (I suspect that the staff would do their best to be helpful, particularly because of his age.)
No final decision has been made, but it comes down to the Sony or the Nook and it looks like it will be the Nook should we end up buying one.
