Just thought I'd let all you helpful MR members that helped me muddle through all the e-reader choices back before Christmas and got me to go the Kindle 3 route.
I ended up getting a Kindle 3 WiFi on eBay (easier for Canadians) and I bought a few of her favourite author's books so it had some pre-loaded for her. She's starting like it more and more as she gets over the missing "feel of a book in her hands".
I, however, stole it for a couple days, downloaded the latest John Grisham novel, and couldn't put it down!
I have since taken delivery of my own 3G/ WiFi device that I am simply LOVING!!
Anyway, thanks to all the MR people that helped back when I was asking what were probably pretty dumb questions
