It's a bit off topic, but I have to ask: Why? Is there something she really likes, or needs? Like a bigger reader, or a front-light?

Maybe the following looks a bit pedantic, but I don't mean it like that. Hopefully you don't take it the wrong way.

In my experience with older people, it often is not a success if you change things just because you think it's good to do it, even if the new device is better and your intentions are good. I've noticed it with my father, and several other people. It may be better to wait until your mom hits some sort of snag (reader too small, no front-light), which makes her *want* another reader.
Well she did start leaving her kindle behind when she came to visit and was happily reading away on one of my Sonys. Once she pretended she left it behind when she forgot to leave it behind

I did get her the kindle when she was sure she didn't want one, and the fancy leather case which she also loves. She visits me and my sister (goes back an forth) for several months a year in the fall. I plan to tell her I have too many ereaders, not far from the truth and nudge her towards the newest one I wouldn't dream of taking away her kindle but no reason she can't have two.
