I want to get an ebook for my mom, but I really can't see teaching her to use Calibre - it's just too "feature rich" and "user confusing".

It is more reliable for me and my computer setup. I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 installed. Version 3.2 would constantly freeze, and then I would have to force quit. Version 3.3 does not have these issues.
I got my mom a Sony ereader and setup Version 3.2 for her on a PC. It works just fine. Although she doesn't have very many books in her library yet to slow it down. It was based on that experience that I upgraded to 3.2 on my Mac without much thought. Big mistake for me at the time so I am happy with 3.3 since it is useable again. Then again my expectations are probably lower than most. I've been using the Sony Reader Library since 2007. The current software is much more reliable and operates at light speed compared to the early versions! I am also happy they finally released a Mac version, and I don't have to switch over to Windows in Bootcamp anymore to manage my ebooks.
