Thanks for your input. The person's hands are experiencing the  
twisted fingers that arthritis brings with it. She might not  
need to "hold" the device that often, especially if it's  
propped up at a table next to her, but she might need to adjust  
it or manipulate it to power on/off.  Which reminds me to ask..  
Does the Fire tablet have an instant on?  ..or does it require  
some kind of hard push of a button on the side?  ..or a screen  
gesture/swipe action?
