If I buy my mom one of those tablet things can she read on it?

Broadly, yes.

Of course, now you will have to deal with 17 people trying to convince you that their fave tablet is awesome and all others are horrible.

Any tablet will do. I have a hard time using the smaller tablets. The kindle fire seems ok but haven't had much hands on. I personally use the iPad as does my mother. Magnified text very user friendly common interface for her and has all those features and then some. Tech and user support is fantastic.

Books can be purchased iTunes or through places like Barnes ad noble, quality display, plenty of protective cases ad designs out there to personalize.
