Sorry for asking, perhaps a dumb question.

I am about the purchase 2 readers for myself and my 12 year-old daughter. We both love books and can go through 20-30 books every 3 weeks from the library. Buying 2 ebook readers seems like the right thing to do. We live in Canada, so our choices are more limited.

Our requirements are simple. Because one of the user is a 12 year-old (a very well-read and computer savvy one, but 12 nevertheless), it must be light, easy-to-use, have the ability to read library books (yes, our local library offer >10,000 ebooks already), and oh... did I mention, must be easy to use?

I have read several reviews for the latest Kindles, Kobos and Sony devices; it would appear that the Kobo wi-fi is the best choice for me? Not having used any of the devices before, just wondering if anyone here have any advices for me.

PS: I am assuming that there is no DRM issues with multiple readers at the same household.
