I also find that the DRM used by Sony while slightly better then that used by Mobi is still just as bad. Both only allow so many devices. And after that, you are SOL. Let's say I wanted to give a reader to my mom, my wife's mom, & we have readers. That's 4 readers. We need at the minimum 3 computers. That's 7 devices and one device too many. Mobipocket is even more restrictive with 4 devices. But at least one doesn't have to be the computer.

I believe both companies can remove licenses for old machines you are not using any longer. Giving away to a relative is not within the license scope so your mother should buy her own license for her own machines.
