I've wondered if that would work. At least she would have the Page Turn keys and, by all reports, a really nice front-lit screen. If the GlowLight could be authorized to use Kobo's store and Overdrive in Canada, I don't think finding a way to buy one and have it shipped to Canada would be that much of an obstacle.

A amazon voyage has buttons. Damn expensive in Canada though. Amazon seems to hate Canada.

Thing is, you can get a Kobo Aura One for $249.99 and a Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 for $199.99. That does show that Amazon is price gouging in Canada.

For a while (around Christmas) Amazon was selling refurbished Voyages for $120 – but only in the United States. But that was exception, not the rule.

It's nothing to do with the reader, just the physics of lithium batteries. They have a typical lifetime of around 5 years or so, after which they'll die. The PRS-T2 is about 5 years old now, so any battery will be approaching end of life. Of course, some batteries live longer - it's pot luck how long any individual battery will last.

If your mom is reading library books, she can get a Kindle Oasis or Voyage. On the overdone site, there's a choice of downloading an adobe book or a Kindle book. I've done both and the Kindle book method is easier.

The OP is in Canada. It certainly used to be the case that Kindle devices could only read library books in the US. Do they now work in Canada?
