I'm not a techie, so I don't know about all the nuances and features of all the alternatives. I just know I got my female a Kindle Fire fro her birthday and it works very well and she likes it a lot. It's big enough to see, but handy, and does all of the stuff you'd want: internet browsing, etc. It is also a good book reader.

The cheapest I would go would be $200 for a Nexus 7. The really cheap tablets will make you want to throw the POS out the window.

I would spend the extra money and get the kindle fire if your mother is not technology inclined. Amazon has done a good job of making a hassle free experience with easy to access vetted apps and digital entertainment content.

My BIL bought some cheap POS for my sister ,it's fucking painful to use it's so fucking slow you do want to smash it on the floor.
Nexus 7 or the like ,$200.00 for your mom to make her happy is nothing. |

Ditto, you might think your are saving money, but there is a reason Coby is only sold at Walmart and pharmacies. Even if the specs look comparible, the screen and touch interface is where the cheao ones skimp. Us a cheap tablet for 20the minutes, then go pick up one of the major brands and see the difference for yourself. I have a Nexus 7, and going from hardware and quality of the touchscreen, it is hands down the best tablet for the money. Period. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Cheapest I'd go would be the base model (non-HD) Kindle Fire. If you are a little more technically inclined, you can do a Refurb nook and push CM7 to it, but that's not non-techie territory.
