And I can't help but wonder why these things are so damn expensive. There are several tablets I can get for half the price.

Because they operate differently. I have no idea how they get actual ink to do that.

I'm assuming it has to do something with the ink technology, so the reader actually looks like a book.

i have no idea though

It's kind of like a console, really. It's a platform to read books on and they surely want to at least profit on the system even if someone never buys any e-books.

best bet is a kindle and not a fire kindle. normal kindle. if the intention is reading mostly or only. normal kindles have the "E Ink" feature so that it is easy on the eyes and looks somehow through some black magic like it's actual printed ink on a page

the kindle fire is a tablet and can do other stuff but it doesn't have e ink. it's just like reading on a computer screen

If I could find somewhere to get her Mills and Boon books that she likes so much, I'd be happy to get my own mum something to read on. Her sight has been going for the last few months, and while she can still read, she needs very good lighting to see. A digital reader could solve that issue.

tl;dw: The black and white inks react differently to different electricity charges, you can get the color you want to the surface simply by applying the right charge.

Why the hell would she want a gimmicky Game Boy Advance accessory that nobody liked?

Hell, who still uses a Game Boy Advance?
