If you don't mind purchasing the books for her from Sony Connect or in MS Reader format and converting for your Mom, then go for the 505. As she has a MAC, you can install libprs500 and use that to transfer the books on and off and create collections. It's not too hard to do. If my Mom had a 505, I'd be able to support her remotely. I'm already setup to access her computer when it's on. But one major difference is my Mother is on Windows.
