You mean:
"for the sake of argument, I give you: My Mother...please!"

That's funny on few levels.
But seriously, if you were hit by a bus (and your mom could stand to look at the Sony without bursting into tears thinking of you) she'd more likely forget your long hair hippy reasons for not shopping at Sony, and just buy from there, because it's easy. That puts her in 3a with I presume many eReading mothers and grandmothers.
Another option, if you are not adverse to stripping DRM, is you set her up with Calibre and the plugins before you walk in front of another bus, and show her how to do the one drag and drop she'd need to add to the process.
Also, without your interference---uh--guidance
maybe she'll trade the Sony for a new Nook or Kobo with on-device shopping.
By the way, Google Books is also available to her, I believe.
Work-arounds don't mean there isn't a problem, but a T intersections isn't a dead end just because you can't go straight.
There are option. Options which simply eliminate any lock in/out.
But even if we allow that your mom is in 3c...anyone else?
