I got my girlfriend and Mom firmly on the eBook wagon. When I started dating Anna, she didn't like ebooks, and was one of those "feel and smell" types, but after seeing my 505 in action, she got a PRS300 and uses the snot out of it. Its been a while since she's read anything on paper.

My Mom, I got her a nook for Mother's day, and preloaded it with the Kathy Reichs books, and she's loved it. It is easy for her to use, and gives her access to so many more books than she did before. Where she lives, there are no book stores near by, and she doesn't have access to a library (city only library, and she lives just beyond the city limits, and no library is offered for her part of the county). She would get what she had at garage sales, and the like. Now, not a problem.
