What kind of reader is your mom? Does she mostly read just a few genres, or does she like a variety? I'm very much a "mood reader". That's why I have 5 or 6 different romance genres - if I'm in the mood for historical romance, nothing else will do. I'd say just look at her reading style and how she's most likely to look for things, and how specific she's likely to be when looking for the next book to read.

Got me there. She loves Sci-fi especially Anne Mccafrey but gets bored there. She loves mysteries and tells me she abhors thrillers. But she loves James Patterson and Jack Higgins. She hates romance, but loves Jayne Castle Krentz.
I used to send her books she wanted and got quite a few complaints. Now I send her books at random that I have enjoyed and think might interest her and get very little snivelling. Mostly mystery, but some urban fantasy and even steampunk.
As to the collections I may just buy her a new ereader (over her dead body as she says
) but she has been showing a suspicious interest in my 350 and actually asked me not to delete the book she started on it.
Anyway thanks for your suggestions, I do appreciate it
Helen
