Actually, my son got me a kindle for xmas. I am also one of those "not technologically inclined" moms. I've been fiddling with mine all day and have downloaded several free e-books. It's pretty cool, I would NEVER have bought one for myself. Sounds like your mom is enjoying her gift.
I have a question about sharing e-books. My sis has tons of books that i can access on my ipod touch. However, I'm not sure I can use her books on my kindle. Does anyone know if that's an option?

All of a sudden I catch her fiddling with the package saying: "You didn't wrap it quite right!" I didn't realize correctly wrapping it involved taking the Kindle out of the box! Her first words were: "There are so many buttons!" But I told her all she really needed to focus on was the one that turned the page.
Since then, it's been several hours since anyone's seen her. How long do I have to wait to file a missing person's report?
So if you got a Kindle, what did you think??? If you gave a Kindle, how did they take it???
