Since I said this she's fixated on it and is now worried that she'll find it irritating. The trouble is that I think a kindle would be perfect for her: she's not at all tech savvy, but is familar with amazon so can easily search and buy books from them rather than needing to get used to another site, and the range and price of ebooks offered on amazon appears to be the best.

So, does anyone actually find the keyboard irritating or interfers with your reading pleasure? And if so, is there a cover which slips over the keyboard so its not there whilst reading?

Many thanks,

How about this? Get your mom a K3 and see how she likes it. If she doesn't like it because of the keyboard, you can return it to Amazon within 30 days and then go buy her a Sony Reader PRS-650 instead.

Problem solved.
