Zooba
Get (usually) hardcover books for $9.95 each, free shipping! How Zooba works is that you browse their inventory and create a list of books you want (ala Netflix) and each month they’ll send you the next book on your list. They have some good ones too, such as Freakonomics and You: The Owner’s Manual. Only catch is that you’re limited to one book a month… and they don’t have the newest books, so if you’re patient, this could work for you. I think this would be perfect for Tony’s mom. 
I checked out zooba - thanks for the tip. You get 1 book with the $9.95 fee but you’re not limited to one book - you can buy as many as you want for $9.95 each + free shipping.

There’s no limit. If you can’t wait, you can always “buy now” and to get another book.
