Kindle Regret

My mom just got a Kindle.  I find it kind of depressing.  My brother bought it for her as a thank you gift for a trip she hosted for our family last summer.  It was a smarty-pants, show stopping gift to end all gifts.  Now I don’t know what to get her for birthdays and holidays.  A certificate for an e-book?  Call me old fashioned, but in my opinion giving an e-book electronically just isn’t right.  I am sure that Miss Manners would concur.  My brother wasn’t thinking long term when he decided to go big or go home and pony up for the $300 book killer (that’s including tax and shipping).   At the very least he wasn’t thinking about me or my other siblings.  The Kindle completely takes books wrapped in beautiful paper, Museum branded book bags and fancy reading lamps from Sharper Image off the “gift option” table.  Now what I am left with? Broaches?
