Hi Adrian.No tablet is totally robust, however getting a good case for any tablet you buy is a very good investment. Being a fan of Apple hardware, I'd say an iPad Mini with retina display which would give her a multiverse of reading options including Kindle to choose from.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Adrien Collins

Where ever she goes, the kindle is with her. I have suggested that she gets something harder wearing than another kindle. Regards Adrien I use BullGuard to keep my computer clean.
