I was thinking then, a Nook (not the color one), so the computer part would be minimized. She can buy books directly from the device, and just have to set up a BN account. Chris says it can't be a Kindle, as the buttons on the bottom would intimidate her.

Does this sound logical? Any other ideas?
You might look at the wifi Kobo (the new one). I have the old one, so I'm not sure of details... In the States, I think it connects to Borders directly, so you don't sideload unless you want library books (or more variety). It is generally considered a basic reader, and a lot of people seem to like it that way. It has some problems for some people, but an update has been supplied, and more are planned. In Canada, at least, the support from Kobo and Indigo has been excellent. And we have a forum here, of course.
