Her point, I think, is that it SHOULDN'T be that hard (and I agree...I'd prefer easy standard compatibility).

My point is for the VAST majority, it either isn't that hard or they never find themselves in that position in the first place.

I've fielded my share of questions (and done my share of sock puppet presentations) for non techies as well, and in the end they often leave with a one-click solution that let's them read anything on anything. But I also know folks who simply stay on device (Kindle, and Kobo in my personal sphere of folks) or who don't even make it in to any of my groups because they couldn't possibly ever learn to use an ereader, much less a computer even if they wanted to.
