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.

I have a Kindle and a few Sonys. Sometimes I'll bring one of them to work and what I have noticed is that when someone plays with touchscreen Sony's, they don't need any help. When someone plays w/ the Kindle, I always get asked, "How do you....?" or "Where is the....?" The simplicity of the touchscreen is that you just touch where you are already looking, which makes navigation that much easier.
As for the 600, I wouldn't recommend it. She's older and her eye sight might not be the greatest, so the clearer the screen the better. Of all the readers I've had, the 650 sits at the top.
