She wants something straightforward though. So removing DRM and converting might be a hassle for her. Or maybe not.
With the Kindle, Sony, and Kobo you would be able to download books via your readers store. With the Nook, here in Canada we can't buy Barnes & Noble books. It works for me because I use Kobo and fictionwise a lot. The difference is that your ebooks will show up in your My Documents folder instead of you B&N Books. Also, the books in your My Docs section doesn't allow the covers to show up in the cover flow, but they show up when you open the book (like a Kindle), and you can't do collections in your My Docs section. You can do these things if you soft root it, but I am not sure you would want to do that. It is pretty easy and you would only have to do it once (not like removing drm and converting every book).
If you want the ease of use with library books I would go with the Nook or Kobo (sorry, I'm not a fan of Sony's screen and no sd card). If you think you will be buying most of your books and want to download them directly to your reader, I would get the Kindle.
