If money was tight and we couldn't do it, then I would give her something else. But I am blessed enough that that is not the case and I can afford to give her this gift.
My parents paid for four years of college at a private University. I make enough money that a Kindle DXG is a nice gift that in no way shape or forms shows my Mother how much I appreciate the sacrifices she made for me.

This post literally made me cry for both the beauty and the sadness. Who would've thought a person could be moved to tears on an ereader forum.

Women don't need words. We exchange thoughts with other women passing in the mall with just a glance. We can have entire mental conversations with women we have never met. Language is no barrier for women.

She can have the Kindle turn the pages for her by turning on text to speech and then turning the volume all the way down. There are even three speed settings.
