Ha, thanks Paola. Mom and I are exactly alike in every way EXCEPT device needs. We both got Android phones at the same time (at my guidance) and she was miserable with hers. I still don't understand why - she just thought it was complicated and unintuitive. We traded her Android phone for an iPhone and she's been happy as a clam ever since.
It didn't surprise me too much that we had the same PocketBook / Sony divide when it came to eReaders.

But, by gum, she LOVES her new Sony.
