Does anyone that owns the device use it also for music. Is it easy to navigate (imagine your mother that does not use a pc , and is 84 and arthritic) ?

I can highly recommend it to you as an ereader - it's narrower than other ereaders, making it easy to hold in one hand. It's very light and the touchscreen is very easy to work - it requires NO pressure at all (I had a gnat walk up the screen and highlight half a page. It was too funny!)
On the other hand, because e-ink readers don't require much electricity, they also don't have very large batteries. So you CAN use it as a music player, but that would run the battery down pretty quickly. I've never used mine for that purpose - perhaps someone who has can weigh in on that.
