Simple 10" Tablet

[237SJ]

My mum (who is a bit of a technophobe) likes the idea of having a tablet. I was thinking about the Tesco Hudl but the screen is 7" which is too small. She isn`t going to be doing anything complicated with it so it doesn`t need to be state of the art so for that reason, I don`t want to be spending hundreds of pounds. I will probably Google but has anyone got any personal experience of buying a cheap(ish) tablet for an elderly person please?

Thanks murraymints and thank you everyone else for the helpful recommendations. I`m looking forward to teaching my Mum how to use a tablet!

237SJ---You will only get confused with all these answers. The best solution is the one you came up with yourself. Get yourown tablet first and then when you are used to it let your mum try it. So sorry about your mum's illness . My sister (69years ) has ovarian cancer. She is using a tablet now and getting tremendous pleasure from it-- ebaying , playing games, e-mails etc. etc. It's lovely to see her enjoying herself and forgetting about her problems .Oh --and she's got hooked on that blooming Candy Crush!!!

andres - I mentioned Candy Crush to my Mum. She is more interested in doing crosswords though. At least they are not as addictive as Candy Crush!

Whatever she wants .!! I'm sure you will end up having a great time with your tablets. Please let us know later how you have gone on and more importantly ---How your mum is and if she is enjoying her tablet ?
