  What is it grandpa is capable of doing, if not plugging the kindle in the computer and dragging and dropping a file onto the "kindle" device that is now mounted in his file explorer?

    If grandpa understands how to use email, he can also just email his kindle an ebook and it will appear on his kindle.

    "OK, I opened the explorer, but I don't see it." "Type 'kindle' in the search." "Alright, hold on... do I want kindle.com? I'm on Amazon, now where do I go?" A slightly more experienced fastball realizes grandpa has opened his never-updated Internet Explorer on his old Windows box. Maybe your family is tech-savvy, but there's many who aren't.
