If she prefers to get library books then I recommend the Sony or nook, but neither is easy to use for someone not computer or electronic device savvy. Has she tried to use your Sonys? Has she even expressed an interest in an electronic reader. If she really doesn't want it, it will be a very expensive device sitting up on a closet shelf. Let her try yours first.

as has been suggested the "which one should I buy" forum might give you some more ideas. I do have to vote for the Kindle because of ease of use, and that you could remotely order things for her and send them to her

but hmm, if your grand's birthday is on next Monday, it can be a little too late now to order Kindle....
