My mom recently discovered my Sony Reader, and when I explained it to her, she got all excited (light-weight, holds lots of books, can zoom).

So I thought to myself, what an excellent idea, I am going to buy my mom a Sony Reader (for Christmas).

But now I am worried. My mom knows how to write e-mails, but that's about it. I already give her 1st level support on her Mac, and it's really just covering the basics. So, do you think it's wise to buy her a Reader, knowing that it's going to be anything but easy for her to use (and implying extra hours for me to support her)?
