She told me she had wanted one for some time now but always held off becaue of some cost or other.
My quick observations while I configured her device.
The k3 is a very nice device there is no slugguishness in the eink device , I was quite amazed. Even though i did not have my k2 next to it the size was noticably smaller and the screen was much whiter. The browser is very fast, i think the 3G model on the k3 has much more appeal since the device is much faster and the browser is more capable.

Wish I can do the same.
My mom is 83 I think (she always lied about her age, lol) so I'm afraid that a Kindle 3 could be a "technology tsunami" for her ...
. Also, she reads a lot but mostly newspaper and does not speak English at all (although she can establish a conversation with my wife, don't ask me how, hahaha)
