for all the creative thinking and suggestions!
Unfortunately, my mom lives 500 miles from me and I won't be seeing her until Thanksgiving. I tried explaining the eBoook concept to her and she couldn't understand what I was talking about and didn't seem too excited simply saying "I guess we can't share books anymore".
Mine is insured and I am trying to decide whether I should insure hers as my plan is to simply return it to Amazon if she doesn't like it at Christmas.
