E-Reader for non-electronically savvy reader

Hello,

I would like to buy an ereader for my Mom. She has expressed interest in reading electronically, but doesn't know where to start.

There's a few things to consider in picking one for her and I'd like your input on the matter:

1. She's not very electronically savvy. She can use a computer, but she will definitely need an ereader that is pretty straight forward.

2. It has to be easy on the eyes. She wears glasses and spends a fair amount of time in front of a computer at work, so the display can't be too glaring.

3. She's American, but lives and works in Mexico and can only travel to the States 2-3 times a year. So it should be able to function outside of the US.

4. I can de-drm any books she buys, but it would be good if she'd be able to just dload books onto her ereader easily, w/o having to wait on me to do the drm stripping. We live in very different time zones and it could be a long wait depending on our work-loads.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I think that's about it on the main issues.

Have a good day everybody!
