I think you cannot get or shipped a Nook overseas, but I could be wrong. Having said that, downloading books from B&N or Amazon (to your local drive) is the easiest thing ever so once you get the device that should be totally transparent for you.

You should check both online libraries and compare prices and book's availability. Some people find Amazon bookstore more complete, others B&N, so your purchase should be based on that. I believe Amazon is a more international device but please weight your decisions on the kind of books she likes.

Both are the best e-readers you can buy at this moment, with Sony 650 at third place, in my opinion.

EDIT: this thread can also help you: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=110429

If not living in USA, it looks like you need a local address for downloading Nook books.
