Hello everyone. I was talking to my mother who likes to read books and mentioned that she might enjoy en ereader rather than buying books in printed format. She likes the idea, however is not very tech savy. I can help her when she needs help so I will end up being the "tech support". Who makes an easy to use, back to basics ereader? She was talking about a B&N Nook because her neice has one, and my wife has a Kindle 3. My mother can see just fine so very large 32 point font is not needed for her. I do not know enough about ereaders to help her make a wise choice as I only bought my first one...a Jetbook Lite the other day. I am thinking that the reader should:

be easy to use and navigate
be able to get books from a store so purchases are easy and in one place
have public library support
