As long as she can keep getting the books she wants from Amazon at a reasonable price I don't think that it will ever really cross her radar screen.

This is true. But, when what will happen is when say someone asks what reader to get to a techy who does know of ePub, the Kindle might not be recommended. But I can see how to the average person it might not matter. But it will matter to those of us who have to support them as to what formats are supported.
