"Results" from interview with my mom:
  * she's addicted to listening to audiobooks in the car on her way to work
  * should be waterproof so she can read in the tub, relaxing from a hard day
  * should be waterproof/sandproof so she can read on the beach,
        since most people read when they're on vacation
  * pastel colored
  * shouldnt have advertisements like magazines do
  * women's magazines / romance novels / classics
  * some moms like opera's book club, other book clubs
  * should be voice activated.... say "page" "next page" or the last word
      on the page to go to the next page
  * should be able to define unknown words in case she doesnt know them

For reading to kids:
  * should be able to record the _mom's_ voice reading the book
       * since mom can't always be there to read it as often as the kid wants
       * my mom works with premature babies and they would often have
             mothers record their voice and then play it over and
               over for the kid
             since mothers couldnt always be near the premie
