My sister in law doesn't want a computer- too big, too much faff- but
she does want a way of mailing and IMing with her children. Also online
shopping and buying tickets. She doesn't really need to print from it.

The iPad could do all those things. She saw a picture and some articles
about one and decided herself that she would like one, which is amazing
enough.

She had a legacy Windows laptop and abandoned it. She had a car and gave
it away. She's about as far from being a gadget lover as it's possible
to get. She actually hates the idea of having a computer.

An iPad might do the job.

A book under the top edge?

It usually does, with laptops. This is similar, just a bit smaller.

Not too thick; a paperback should do it.

Could do with something that would hold it near vertical.
