She is not tech savy at all (even the TV remote control gives her problems) so thats why I was considering the Kobo since it is only a directional pad, but since no one mentioned it, it kind of scares me away from it.
As far as her using one, that is what actually sparked this idea in my head. I overheard her asking to borrow my sister's PRS-600 (which I think would be better for her than a new 650/350, I love the new interface, but the old one just seems simplier/bigger.)
The only problem with the kindle is the full keyboard on the device, I think that might intimidate her.
Again, thanks for the response and sorry I didn't put more detail in last night (it was right before bedtime, I was sleepy :-) )

I think if you get a skin and make sure you leave the keys covered it won't be too bad. also when you do make accidental key strikes a simple page forward will remove the strike without turning the page. maybe take her to a Target (are you in the US?) and let her handle one
