KennyC., it's actually been kind of cute to watch my parents deal with all of this. I gave my mother the Kobo for a combined retirement/mother's day present, and every time we have talked since, she has mentioned she is using it and loves it. Periodically, she has offered a suggestion for something so basic that I marvel how she really thinks nobody has ever thought of it before. (booklights! for the ebook reader! what a thought!). And I think I kind of blew Dad's mind a little when I suggested that I could just magically pull off the internet the complete works of Dickens, Buchan, Poe, Twain and Shakespeare---for free---and without ten minutes effort----and stick them on a memory card he could carry around with him.
