I bought my mom a K2 for Christmas a few years ago. She uses it, but only for books that she and my dad read aloud to each other while driving. She cannot be persuaded that it's OK to switch between books, that she won't lose her place, and that she can also use it for the books she reads to herself when alone; she doesn't need to carry paperbacks AND the Kindle. Perhaps I should buy her an ad-supported Kindle in hopes that the advertisers can tempt her to jump around and make better use of the device.
