Fire Tablet as VIrtual Photobook, Help?

Hi, AskMe. :) I'm trying to set up a sort of virtual photo book/slide show view for my Thai grandma. She struggles with technology at best, so we want the experience to be as simple as possible. We got an Amazon fire tablet from Best Buy for $40, but I'm struggling a lot with the logistics of actually getting it set up. I initially registered it to my own amazon account because it was easiest, but I now see that might not have been a great idea in terms of actually keeping things simple.

We want to be able to share photos, videos, and such, but have as little for Grandma to be confused by as possible. Amazon seems to insist on linking the tablet to their prime-based photo storage solution, which I forgot about until this afternoon and don't really use in any case.

I'm struggling a bit with the logistics of doing this in the days I have left, until mom has to take the tablet and herself off to THailand for three weeks or so.

Any advice would be very much appreciated. My brother and I floated the idea of a regular photo book, but mom was less than enthused, so some kind of technological solution it is.
