Operates like and has the look/feel of the STR, but with the addition of the light. As far as I know battery life is similar on most eInk readers with similar features.
Unless she's a techie and can strip DRM and edit eBooks, forget Kobo, the oddities/bugs will just make it more of a hassle then it's worth.

Given that the sister knows how to use the nook str, I'd suggest the nook glo.
