EZEtoGRU Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Mom is 97 and lives at a facility nearby where I live. She wants a tablet to be able to read books and play simple games (ie solitaire, Mahjong, etc). What is the best option for someone who is not tech savvy and just wants it for simple things? Do the tablets have games already loaded onto them such that you don't have to subscribe to games?

+ JamesB Posted Tuesday at 02:41 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:41 AM The zero effort option: GrandPad is designed specifically for seniors who have never used a computer. Best for Reading & Games: Amazon Fire HD 10. If she wants to read books, especially through Kindle or library apps like Libby and play games, this is the most cost-effective choice. The Modern Option: iPad with “Assistive Access.” If you already use an iPhone or iPad, this is the best option since you can help her remotely.
