What if they don't like the reader store that is associated with their reader? What if they can't access the reader store associated with their reader? What if they find that particular reader store confusing to navigate?

Am I the only person in this thread with non-techie eReaders in the family who have to ask me to handle all this for them???? I'm dreading the day that Dad gets a Nook/Kindle and Mom starts wanting to read HIS books on HER Sony.
