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?

the buttons may not be as daunting as he thinks. when she realizes that they don't make dramatic changes to the function of the device, she might do well with them. I would take advantage of the generous return policy and take it for a spin.
if I give anything it will be a
goat, cow, chicken or something along those lines from this place or the equivalent. I am so over the crass commercialism of the holidays
