I'm a Audible user, so I'll not be out of luck.

But... I still prefer to read with my eyes, which are getting worse as I inch toward my 70's. I love the ability to increase font size so I can continue to read without glasses. While the monkey will only read on e-ink, I'm perfectly satisfied with my Fire as a reading device and I expect I'll continue reading on long after the monkey has given up.
Sorry to hear about your mom.

My ears are my primary readers and my Clip Zip is my favorite reading device.
