And just one more thought

I'm wondering, if your mother is anything like me, she won't be all that interested in 'the latest and greatest'. Many times, best sellers are just so much fluff.

One of the things I enjoy most is downloading free books by authors I grew up with, and those from the early part of the century........the classics. I"m not talking Shakespeare, just good old fashioned reading.

Am I making sense? The ability to buy the latest thing by the flavor of the month might not be to her taste. Of course, i could be wrong.

You would know her reading tastes better than anyone, so you need to decide whats best for you.
