Easy to read
Description

For her 95th birthday, we got our Grandmother a kindle.  She didn't think she needed it but it turns out she loved it.  She went from lugging around big heavy books to tapping around a sleak new kindle.  It allows her to make the font big when she doesn't feel like wearing glasses, or have the book read to hear when she doesn't feel like reading.  Within 24 hours of getting it as a gift she had downloaded herself a nice little library.  While the kindle is easy to use, don't mess with Grandma Ruthie.  She remembers just about everything since was 3 years old and she still works out twice a week.  The only downside is that no one wants to drop the kindle on a spider that made it's way into the house.  Maybe the kindle is a blessing in disguise for spiders worldwide...

Update 5/5/09: after sharing the widwi with Grandma Ruthie she emailed me back (yes, she emails!), "Hi there ---- I was up until 3 o'clock this morning reading my kindle.  Have a wonderful book - "The First Family."

XXXOOOXXX

She texts and web chats on her Mac computer. We offered to buy Ruthie an iPhone but she turned it down. A family member....
