| Book suggestions Hey guys, I need some help! My dad loves to read (that's where I get it from!) and for his 60th birthday, my mom and I decided to get him an e-reader, and I ordered a custom cover for it with deer and camo print lol. I am giving it to him this weekend but I need to load it with books! He is not very technologically savvy, so I want to give him enough to keep him busy for a while. His interests are hunting/outdoorsy stuff, history (usually Canadian history), and hockey I have bought him lots of books in the past based on true stories of survival and he likes those ones. He also enjoyed a book I bought him by Don Cherry, and he also really liked S*** My Dad Says lol. It is much easier for me to go to a book store and browse and find books he would like, but harder for me to browse online and find them, so I'm hoping you guys can give me some direction!

| you could check with the local libary. My sil "checks out " books on her ereader. Also... kindle on amazon has some free books or very inexpensive books you could start with and then give him a gift card. That is a great gift and I am sure he will love it

| I also check out books from the library with my own ereader The problem is, my parents live in the dark ages with no internet connection lol. They also live in an extremely small town in the middle of nowhere so even if they knew what WiFi was, there is nowhere they can get it for free. I got my dad the newer version of the same ereader I have (Sony T1, I got him the T2) so I will pretty much know how to work it over the phone if he has any issues. He will have issues. My brother had to write step-by-step instructions on how to put a DVD in the DVD player so they could watch a movie lol! But my grandma learned how to use an ereader and I think my dad will get it eventually
