Re: accessible book formats, the Kindle does not support the global open-source format epub which is popular with all other e-readers. Amazon does this to lock you into their purchasing environment. So if you want to utilize the huge-range of free content available on the internet, you will have to learn to convert it into the amazon proprietary format in order to read it. This is not difficult (you use a free program called Calibre) but may not be possible for you mum. You will probably have to do stuff like that for her, but if you do want to get the free stuff, you will probably have to help your mum to some extent no matter the e-reader you choose. Of course, your mum might be a computer guru
