Your mom would LOVE a brand new Kindle. In fact, the Kindle is this year's top, #1, most wanted Mother's Day gift. You can order now and it will arrive in time for the big day. Editor's Note: Older chicks really dig the Kindle because they actually read books. It makes moms feel really hip and techie while still doing something that is familiar to them. And it gives them something to show off and discuss with their friends. Think of how much better your mom's life will be if you just get her this one simple gift.

Do people not like the black Nano so much? It's $15 cheaper on Amazon than through Apple. This would actually be my Nano of choice (HINT SANTA) but then I don't go in for bright shiny colors.
