Parent's Response to e-Bookshelf

My mother has absolutely no idea as to why we need an e-bookshelf. She says that if we don't utilise it, there is no point in having one. There is no point in creating something that we don't use, or even bother to use. Sometimes, it is true, that i totally and utterly forget that i have an e-bookshelf. But when i finally come around and take a look at it. I get reminded that i have not read many books in the past month. 

She isn't impressed with my book count. There is barely enough to fill the page. But, she knows. If i am willing to keep up this bookshelf, only then, will it be succesful.
