I hold an ebook help program every week, and it's largely seniors with iPads who show up. iPads are a godsend, as you can easily increase the font size of anything, and the touch screen is much easier for people with arthritis to use than a mouse and keyboard.

(I don't use them yet, so I don't actually know if there are things they don't work on very well--I'm just guessing. But when I saw one, I thought to myself that I am definitely getting one for myself one day.)Debbie Mnoreply@blogger.com
