Another thing to consider is that dedicated readers such as a kindle and kindle touch are typically lighter and smaller then the fire is. Depending in your mom and her capabilities with PCs a dedicated reader might be a better idea. A kindle is cheaper and simpler then a fire is, I have both and I use my kindle for book reading and the fire for everything else (the fire does not venture outside my home, my kindle does). Now here is something odd, a kindle owner speaking ill of his own chosen book reader (very rare indeed), a kindle is the cheapest reader on the market (they start at $80) however they are not the simplest reader on the market, thats the kobo. Oh, don't get me wrong the kindle is simple to use its just that Kobo has taken the simplicity to a whole new level. However simple is not always the best thing, making the reader simpler can often make it less powerful so you need to make a determination which is best for mom. Does she need simple or power.
