I really don't know where to ask this question, so sorry if this is the wrong place. If it is, please let me know where I should go instead :)

I'm thinking of getting my mom an e-reader for her birthday. I was hoping someone could weigh in on them, since I know next to nothing about them:

- my mom loves reading books and has mentioned wanting to try out an e-reader before. however she really likes the feel of books/flipping pages, but I guess there's no harm in getting her one anyway
- she uses glasses when reading. I have no eyesight problems so I have no idea how these e-readers jive with that and how comfortable it would be to read from one
- preferably there would be easy access to foreign-language books? specifically russian. It's kind of pointless if not since she doesn't read english books that often

If anyone can give their recommendations or point me to somewhere that would make this decision easier, thanks!

Oh man, I kind of just skimmed down IYG to see if there was anything like that but I guess I missed the thread. In hindsight I probably should have just searched for "e-reader" or something but I figured a forum based on reading books would be able to help. I'll go read through the threads now. Thank you!
