Ok since mothers day is coming up pretty soon and i usually wait until the last minute to get anything for my mom i want to try to be prepared this year.
I need some help and advice from you guys perferrably from middle aged moms that are not exactly computer-savvy. Im 23 and i love my kindle im not computer savvy but of course i am very familiar with computers and the process. But my mom is 45 and although she does online banking and several other computer related tasks im not sure how easily she would "catch on" to the kindle amazon download process. Obviously she is not stupid so i know she will get used to downloading books etc. But shes kind of set in her ways, like if she wants a book it seems easier for her to just go down and buy it and then read it. But im thinking maybe she will love trying this new way.
I am unsure if my mom will love a kindle Because my mom loves to read and she always comments on how handy my kindle is because it can change font size and she wouldnt have to strain with her glasses on. She is handy on a computer when she wants to be and she also ordered a kindle for my cousin for a graduation gift and she has seen mine several times. So she definitely knows what one is and is somewhat familiar with it. Shes only played with mine for a few minutes and kinda doesnt get the whole idea of it exactly. Which im thinking might change if she actually owns one and can get used to buying books and reading them on her own kindle at her leisure?
I dont know im very confused and since it is rather expensive i want a few opinions on if you think she will enjoy it if i buy her one for mothers day. I guess worst case scenario is she can return it which will not at all hurt my feelings. Im just sick of the same old gifts i usually always buy perfume,purse,wallet,spa gc.
Any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much
