is it elderly friendly?

Yes, the interface is not overly complicated. You could also go to a Barnes & Noble store with it, and the staff will be happy to help you.

Most of the on-screen buttons are big, maybe 3/4 of an inch wide. I took it when I went to the optometrist because I can make the fonts so large that I could read it without my glasses. It's lightweight. The touchscreen is sensitive, so you don't need to push heavy buttons to turn the page. The basic Nook doesn't have a light of its own -- so you need a lamp to read it, but the battery lasts for weeks.

It's very simple to use =) The touchscreen could be difficult to use @ first depending on your technology skills. But overall, it's quite easy to use.

It is not overly noisy, in my opinion, but I am old so my hearing isn't trustworthy. Perhaps a younger person should answer your question.

I'm 81 and I have no trouble using it, however if you arthritis in your hands it would be difficult and it is heavy.

I have no idea what you are asking. I am a very senior citizen, at 80 years young.

It's really easy to remove, very light weight and not locked in or anything like that. Perfect for seniors!!!

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

No, but it it very easy to assemble. I am 75 years old and I had no problem. Read the directions and take it slow.

It's is very easy to put up and take down. My 65 yr old mother in law set it up before we arrived and had no trouble. There are two latched per side on the top rail that have to be realsrsd by pushing a hidden button. As long has you have strong enough hands you should be good.

The phone is suitable for an elderly person, but the ringer isn't very loud and the screen is small. I originally bought this phone for my step father, he loved it (because it was easy to use); but he would complain that the ringer wasn't loud enough and the screen wasn't big enough. If I had a choice, I wouldn't by this for a person who had issues with their eyes or needed a phone with a loud ringer.

No. It is very stable. My 97 year old Mother-in-Law loves it. First time she was able to walk up and down the street in many years.
