If weight is a problem for your friend the lighter of the two (I believe that it is the non-touch) might be easier to hold for an extended period of time, so that is something that you may want to take into consideration as well. I don't think that the weight difference between the two is huge (about 30 g, I believe), but it may make a difference.

Route 66 I can't unfortunately take her to try them. She is arriving today with back and neck braces, walker and other equipment. I think this is much worse than I thought. Anyway, after reading all your comments and I really appreciate them, I think I will try the NT first. She is so non tech that I am afraid she might get frustrated with the Touch if she has multiple page turns by accident, can't figure out how to back up a page, etc. This is just about her being able to read a book easily. Just hope the buttons on the NT are as easy to use as the K3. Oh well if she doesn't like it, I just have an extra back up reader.

Carmelreader - I think she'll love the NT. It's super easy to use and for you buying, head to Walmart!! They have them on sale this week until May 5th $79 for the reader & get a $30 Walmart gift card!!
If you're as wonderful a friend as you sound, use the Walmart gift card to buy a $25 Amazon gift card so she gets a wonderful reader and $25 to spend on books. ![]() I have issues with my wrist and in sheer numbers, the added difference in weight of the touch may not seem like much on paper but it certainly adds up to pain in practice!!! So it most definitely does matter. The lighter non-touch will make a world of difference to her. |

I can't say if this will work for her, but maybe the Kindle Touch in a stand.

I'll let you all know how she likes it and how it works out.
Thanks again. |

A 350 might be nice, just because it's smaller (if one could be found) and even lighter. |
