You've got to use ADE or try to coax the Sony Reader software to load everything up and ARGH. Calibre is easier, but the Kobo downloads are ACSM files, and Calibre doesn't open those, AFAIK.
The Wiki here at MR has a list of ebook stores both DRM and DRM-free. Perhaps, one of them may be easier for your mother.
