I gave my 92 year old mother-in-law a Kindle for Christmas. An avid reader, she'd stopped reading because worsening vision made it difficult to see print. With the Kindle, she can increase the font to an easily readable size. Also, she likes to read in bed but as she became more frail she found it difficult to hold a book up for any period of time. But the Kindle is so lightweight and well balanced that it's easy for her to hold.
It is a bit difficult for her to adjust to the technical aspects of it, and I would say that if you're considering the Kindle for an elder it's important to have someone nearby who can trouble shoot minor problems and questions as they arise. But all in all, a Kindle is a great way to bring reading back to someone who is frail and/or has low vision.

I did lots of research on the internet and in stores looking at different e-book readers. I even bought the wife one to see how she would like it before buying one for me. I gave her Kindle as a Christmas present and within in a week after working with it, I decided to buy my own. Its easy to use. Features are great. I travel all over the U.S. and have never had a problem with the signal or abilty to download books. The electronic print clarity is truly amazing. When on an airplane, passengers next to me always ask how I like it and I tell them without hesitation that this was the best purchase I've made in a while. I'm able to download and read business books as well as pleasure books. I really like the highlighting feature as it lets me go back and review key points in the book. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

This is the best e-book on the market. I reviewed Consumer Reports and they are 100% correct! The wireless feature, storage, backup and number of book titles available separate this device from all others.
 I'd like to return my kindle. February 6, 2010

After hearing about all the publishing companies complaining, and, Amazon relinquishing titles, I expect Amazon to honor our request to return our newly purchased Kindle. What looks to be happening is Amazon is going to let the publishers charge a lot more money for new ebooks. One of the main reasons I bought a Kindle was to get a break on the costs. Now that you are raising your costs to us I no longer believe Kindle is worth its high price. You cannot find most of the current releases. The lag is incedibly annoying, and when some do finally become available the books can be found in used bookstores for a couple of bucks. Where is the upside here?
I could use a pep-talk from Amazon right now on these issues and the reasons why I should consider keeping it. Hopefully it will not be "you bought it, you own it".
