    If the Kindle has a SIM slot and supports 4G, just order a Smarty SIM on either a data-only plan or a voice plan (obviously he won't be able to use the minutes or texts that come with a voice plan in a Kindle, but sometimes the voice plans are cheaper than the data-only plans for the same amount of data).

    If the Kindle is 3G only, he will not be able to use it with Smarty, as Smarty's parent network Three have now turned off most of their 3G coverage (as have EE and Vodafone. O2 will be following suit soon).

      SmartyTrousers From what I can see, the type of Kindle that supports a sim has not been made for some time.

      GavinPag_589777  I think that you would need to use a phone as a hotspot for your father to then access Amazon Kindle books over his wifi. Gets a bit complicated if he is not tech savvy.
