He will need the internet to download and purchase books

If he does not have internet / wifi at home, he will have to go to "free" source, such as local library, or coffee shop - even my grocery store has free wifi now. Can you pre-load some books on it for him, and just update periodically for him? Only you know if you can teach him to 1) download the app, 2) open the app 3) open the book / select what you want to read or listen to.....several apps are very easy to use - such as Amazon Prime Books or Audible for audio books.....Hoopla is thru your local library (if they offer it) etc.
