The Sony will be great. I know with the Kindle you can share accounts, I am not sure about the Sony. If you can share accounts then the Sony is probably your best bet. That way she could share your husbands account and be able to read his books.

The big differences between the Kindle and the Sony are pretty basic

Sony is touch screen, the Kindle is not.

Kindle has WiFi, the higher priced has 3G and WiFi.

Kindle Costs $139 or $189 US, Sony 650 costs $199. (My god, Sony finally got a clue and dropped the price, that is actually not bad)

Sony uses EPub, Kindle does not

Kindle has the best bookstore available, Sony is probably fourth (Amazon, B&N, Kobo, Sony)

If your daughter is computer savvy then the format and bookstore really does not matter because she can remove DRM and convert files easily enough.

My guess is that the Sony will work well for her. She might prefer having the WiFi connectivity. Personally, I would not buy a device that did not have at least WiFi. I love being able to download books where ever I am so I really like having the 3G connectivity but with expanding WiFi availability I can see why people would choose the WiFi only version these days.
