The Kobo is a great entry-level device. In other words, it may not have all the features you might eventually discover you want ... but if you want an inexpensive [relative to others] reader that permits you to acquire and read a variety of library and purchased books ... the Kobo is the right choice ... particularly for your 12 year old.
The Kobo is durable and now they have a nice, practical case for it too.
I purchased a Kobo in the summer and was both impressed by it and delighted with it.
I upgraded recently to a Sony PRS-650 because I did discover that there were features of the Sony that fit better with me than the Kobo ... but that's not to say that Kobo wasn't just fine for my needs. In this case, my "wants" over-rode my "needs".
I did find that the Sony had a better screen resolution than the Kobo ... and my aging eyes need the comfort of that. However, if I had never actually seen a Sony "in action" I wouldn't have been aware of this. I had no eye strain or problems reading for long periods of time with the Kobo.
Good luck!
