The only downside of the Kindle is its weight (10.2 oz, vs 9 oz for the PRS-500). Otherwise it is probably your best option, assuming she is in Sprint's coverage area. It does not need any attached computer, and you can buy new e-books directly on the Kindle. Perhaps a Kindle and a book chair to get round the weight issue.
