Hmm... The initial post didn't specify whether her primary interest was in new, DRMed books, which do require a little help from Amazon, or in older, freely available (even in the UK ;-) ) books. If the latter, then Kindle is an attractive alternative.
Has there ever been a poll here to determine whether people buy readers in order to read DRMed vs free books?
