But can someone tell me more about the lack of (or availability of) kids literature - he is at the Percy Jackson/Warriors stage.

He'll have zero problem finding books at that stage! DD's a lot younger and we're reading stuff like The Cat in the Hat/Early readers together and I just haven't seen those on there but chapter books are definitely there! I've even seen the Percy Jackson books on there, don't worry!

Also, I think you're right on getting your mother a Kindle, it's by far the best for pure readers. Plus, I'm not sure how her eyesight is, but it's definitely the easiest on the eyes.
