Firstly, are you sure said relative would appreciate the e-reader? I have about 350 books sitting in my studio, and if someone tried to tell me to get rid of them for an electronic version I'd tell them to fuck off. I like paper. I'd use an e-book reader for research books for uni and the like. :)

Until you got used to it... or went on a trip where taking more than one or two books was impractical due to space limitations buy you could reasonably expect to go through more than one or two books.
Once I, too, was an unbeliever. Then I got my Kindle :P

I'm used to lugging plenty of sketchpads and things round anyway. A few paperback books doesn't bother me.
Plus, you cant download cheap charity shop books

First im not going to tell my aunt to get rid of her books That was never my intention. I said this as a reference to her love of reading. Beyond this I must admit that this might not be a good idea for her. Right now this idea is most likely too late for holiday since the first day of it is tomorrow. I thought of this idea when in a mall and they had the sonny e-reader on display in one of those in-door walkway stores. The main reason i thought this would be good is because my library has a data base of free books she could get useing this thought our Internet connection. At least i believe so.
