Hi Yes I thought of the ipad myself for a selfish reason, she can then help me to learn my ipad but you are right nothing is that robust and when she uses it almost 24/7 they are bound to wear out. Next to print books, mum loves her books, the kindle I think was the best gift my sister and I gave to her. Mum reads loads of books.

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 Sent: Friday, August 22, 2014 10:55 AM To: 'access uk' Subject: [access-uk] an alternative to the kindle Hi My mum's second kindle has just packed up, it is out of warranty, she is a heavy user, I am thinking because now there are so many tablets out there, what would be a good combination, something that will last more than a year, she has worn out 2 kindles in 2.5 years, she reads a lot. 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.
