My 78 yr old mother has had a protracted stay in hospital, in the midst of which she had her birthday. We had clubbed together and bought her a Kindle. She was too poorly to want to keep it in hospital with her at first.
As it is linked to my Amazon account, she is able to share the books I have bought, as well as others she has paid for.
She was re-admitted this week, after a week at home using her Kindle. I set it all up for her, and after going twice through how to use the five way button, she's got used to it already.
She's addicted. And she certainly wasn't leaving it at home for this hospital stay!
Last night I didn't leave the ward until 20 mins after visiting time had ended because I was writing down where to buy them, which one to get for those with/without internet connections, and how easy it is to use. That was for both nurses and patients! Doctors have apparently been very interested too.
I think I need to be on commission with Amazon
