I appreciate there is a Kindle thread near to this, and have read it!
We're looking to buy mum a special present for her 70th. She loves all the new technology stuff, so have narrowed it down to three: smart phone - probably a bit too much for her, it is for me! Laptop, probably perfect but at £350-ish, quite expensive.
Kindle - she loves reading books, so pretty ideal. But reading the feedback at Amazon, it seems you can do more than just read books. I just wondered if anyone has a Kindle and can explain what it's capable of?
Having read the other thread, we would go for the 3G. But the other thread doesn't go into the nuts and bolts detail of what the Kindle can do. If there's a thread posted previously that does so, please post a link here.
Thanks guys.
