My better half needs to keep in touch by e-mail, like many of us do. Until now, that has been a stressful experience for her. Switching on a notebook, firing up windows and getting "on the line", as she likes to call it, was never pleasant - not for her or for anyone else within earshot.
There's none of that with her new tablet. Switch it on and one tap takes her to her Gmail account. It really couldn't be easier or simpler.
It's a similar situation for other mail services such as Yahoo and Hotmail. Twitter and Facebook also have one tap access functionality.
It's been a liberating experience for my wife. I the space of a few days she was dealing with e-mails with confidence - something which has never happened before! She has now graduated to watching TV shows and movies on her Kindle and is the self appointed family "Googler" now.
All things considered, the ease of use of touch screen tablets in general - and the Fire HD in particular - make them a great, if somewhat surprising, gift choice for anyone who doesn't especially enjoy using technology but who wants the benefits that it can bring.
