You might ask the library itself whether they have someone who can help her set up her ADE account there. My local library not only has lots of computers for people to use there, but also someone specifically to help patrons figure out how to use/set up the various e-readers.

Cheers for the suggestions lads and lasses.

I've probably got enough old bits around I can get a working computer out of but then you bump into the next hurdle, needing to buy winblows which completely blows the pension budget!

I've done some searching and it looks like I can, with a lot of hoop jumping, get it to work on a linux install. However at this point it's probably just simpler to add an account to my PC and only use it for the that purpose.


I did some digging into the library part too and visiting the library isn't even needed. However she'll probably end up there anyway, she can test the staffs patience instead of mine!
Although I think she's won that battle, now I just do things for her instead of trying to teach her. :-(
I suspect I'll be seeing her as often as books expire or get read, but that's okay.



It's still rather irritating that it's easier to avoid the DRM. In the amount of time I've put into this I could have got more books than she could read onto it. :-/

Nobody mentioned it, but I would go for a simple Windows 10 tablet solution. Something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/NuVision-Touc...dows+10+tablet

It doesn't need to be expensive, it doesn't need to be fast, it only needs the ability to install ADE and have a USB port where you can connect a reader to.

Make sure you don't get a Windows 10 S type tablet. MS is pulling the same stunt as they did with the now dead Windows 8 RT: you can only install applications out of the Windows 10 store. the S type tablet won't let you install normal desktop applications (of which ADE is one).

What is a "Windows 10 S type tablet"? A search isn't getting me anywhere on figuring it out.

A: Windows 10S is not yet available. As far as I know, 10S debuts on the Surface Laptop which won't be available until the middle of June and it'll be a thousand bucks
B: For the first year, Windows 10S can be freely upgraded to Windows 10 (at least on the Surface Laptop, which will, again, be the first device sporting Windows 10S)

They don't exist yet. Windows 10S is an upcoming version of Windows 10 that will only allow programs to be installed from the Windows app store: What is Windows 10 S?

Microsoft isn't trying to trick people into Windows 10S. It's meant to more secure. Something to compete with Chromebooks.

Thanks for the link! My search technique failed me on that one.
