My 78 year old mother expressed an interest in getting an ebook reader and asked me... So I'm asking you
We're in Denmark, and she wants to buy and read Danish books. So a Kindle is out and epub and ADE is in (though the books she wants to buy seems to mostly drm'ed by watermarking rather than ADE, which makes things easier).
She is comfortable with using her computer, but the process of moving files still baffles her a bit from time to time, so it needs to be really easy and just work. I don't live nearby, so she needs to be able to manage it herself.
My own best suggestion is a Sony. I've owned some myself, and they are the only ebook readers I've tried, apart from Kindle, where I felt the user interface "just worked" and the user experience was smooth.
I'd really prefer if I could recommend a reader with pearl e-ink or something equivalent. I think it makes a difference.
Other choices seem to be Bebook, Booken and Pocketbook devices. I haven't tried any of those recently, so I don't know if they've improved.
As far as user experience goes, I trust Booken most out of those, but their new Odessey, which looks interesting, isn't out yet, and they are not likely to deign to inform us mere mortals about an arrival date until it actually arrives :P
I've had a PB 360 and while it's a neat devise, the user interface is only for those with science exam
