I would think that an ipad might be a bit big and heavy for reading on a commute (although some people do). The Kindle is small and light. And a quarter of the price. So, if she just wants a reader, mainly for the commute, I think that the Kindle is an excellent choice.
The DX is not yet available in the UK, although you can get it from the US, but I would wait and see what they do with updates to that to bring it in line with the 6" models.
