I must admit I'm glad she's not nearly as voracious a reader as I am; she reads only before sleep and gets through maybe 2-3 books a month - if she read 10-15 books a month, I don't think I could afford to buy her books!
I am lucky in that my 87 year old mother seems happy to read mostly the same ebooks as I do. Strangely enough she didn't when it was all paper.
