I think I am most worried about two aspects:
1. She is using a Mac. Standard desktop software (from Sony) won't work. So will she be able to upload her own books? (e.g. by uploading directly via USB)
2. Will she remember to regularly charge her reader? She might leave it in a drawer for a couple of weeks, and I can see how the battery will deplete in no time.

I know the CyBook is more expensive, but for both those reasons it would, I think, be a better choice than the Sony. There are no issues buying Mobi books from a Mac, and if you switch the CyBook off at the end of a reading session (or just leave it to auto power-off) the battery won't discharge if you leave it in a drawer.
