So really, it needs to be kept simple, and there is no reason except greed, why that couldn't be the case.

The point being, that if an ebook is the price it should be, most of the issues go away.

And honestly it is a win win for all.
I suspect you are ignoring the obvious solution in post #222 because you just want to stand on your soapbox and lecture us about 'fair' ebook pricing.

If your wife isn't tech savvy enough to log in to her Amazon account or your mother isn't tech savvy enough to launch and run the Kindle app, then ebooks may as well be free. Your problems won't change.

At that point, perhaps your wife should just read large print books so she can share with your mother.
