Yes, this is what I was thinking -- as long as the books are not DRM'ed and my dad can figure out how to transfer the attachments to the Kobo over USB. I'm not sure he'd use DropBox since it's just another confusing account he'd have to set up.

So, I suspect we'll end up sending him gift cards and links to books we suggest now and then, instead of buying the books for him. Before I sent him the Kobo, I did load it up with some books from my own collection just so he'd have something to try it out on and get "hooked" on using the device without having deal with the e-book store or forking out money up front.
