I need to buy a tablet for my mother, who is in her mid 70's and NOT tech savvy.
She will use it for web surfing and MAYBE email.
I am between a Samsung 10 inch and a Amazon Fire 10 inch.
I am familiar with Samsungs but not FIre's.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have an iPhone 6+ as well as an i-Pad and have always recommended them because of how intuitive they are... right from the beginning (an iPhone 3) if had a problem the logical aspects of it solved it in no time.

I am 73 and love, love, love my Fire 10 (and it's $50 off today). It is very easy to use. Be sure and get a case and protective film for screen (and maybe a protection policy).

@Abrowneyegirl I hope your mother enjoys whichever tablet you go with. My mother is elderly, she just doesn’t do well with any electronic gadgets. She has a Kindle Paperwhite that I help her with and she also has an old Amazon Kindle Fire that I inherited. I don’t have any experience with a Samsung tablet but I do own 3 Kindles. I would get the Kindle Fire, it’s pretty easy to use. Since you don’t know how well she’ll do with it, I wouldn’t buy the most expensive one, maybe more in the middle range.

@Abrowneyegirl The Amazon Kindle Fire 10 is on sale right now for $99 for black Friday. Regular price is $149. It is a super nice tablet, long battery life, fast, etc. I just ordered one.

Kindle is mainly for books, i am not thrilled with the web browser. I think you are better off with android, more free apps and probably easier to show her how to use it. a good inexpensive android tablet I love is asus

ipads are great but an elderly woman not tech savy will strugle with it. I am very tech savy and it took me eons to figure out the settings. I still cant reember how to read my notifications lol plus you need a cedit card on file or apple never lets you update your apps
