Seriously, Timboli. Why is it the publisher's fault that your wife and mother won't settle on a format that they both like? Why is it even a bad thing that your wife would buy a book for herself and your mother buy her own book....even if it were the SAME format?
You might be mollified somewhat if you considered the entertainment value both your wife and mother receive from reading a book. Is it worth the money for your mother to buy herself a large print book....verses whatever else she would spend her time and money on?
I've found that, in general, it's really hard to beat the value that books bring per hour of entertainment. And I say that as someone who isn't stuck on just books for entertainment. I like tv, movies at home, movies in the theater, social media....and I like to read.
They all have a place and they all have a cost. But books are hard to beat for value for your entertainment dollar.
