eReader for a tween living on the road

We are planning to live in an RV soon, and one of the biggest concerns we have right now is how to address the almost-11-year-old-daughter's voracious appetite for books. We go to the library at least once a week, checking out dozens of books at one time. She reads all the time!

We are not particularly interested in buying ebooks (that would be ridiculously expensive, even if they were $1 each).

Mainly, we would like to try to use free books and library. I have read in two separate places that the New York Library offers library privileges for $100, but I can't find that on their website. The Houston Library (where we currently live, so we have privileges there, at least) has ebooks, but I'm really frustrated with their search engine, and I'm not having any luck finding books that will appeal to her.

So, my question is two-fold: NYL says specifically that their ebooks are not compatible with kindle ... so which other ereader is our best bet? (We may eventually get an Ipad, but not at this point.)

And, how & where can we access teen-fiction for free?!

thanks!
