I agree with @Quoth . I recently acquired a Boox Page (after more than 10 years of Kobo devices).
I was ready for it, really wanted to read my RSS news on it, in addition to my epubs, as well as sometimes some minimal web browsing.
In the end... The appeal of the snappy screen of my smartphone got me back on it for the RSS reading. And web browsing is a pain on small screens (I don't like web browsing on anything but a computer, and never on screens below 13").
I wouldn't recommend a e-ink device unless everything you're reading has been converted into a properly sized epub.
But this definitely wouldn't match his mother's use case.
