11 year old daughter

I got a Nook Classic for Christmas and I love it!

Except ... my daughter is always snagging it and dear hubby reads a half hour or so each night (luckily he goes to bed before I do!)

Daughter is a very responsible 11 years old. Her birthday coming up.

I'd like to get her an eReader. I'm leaning towards the Kobo because of the price.

With my Nook, I get books (usually free) from Sony, B&N, Borders, Smashwords and probably a few others. I also check out books from my library (LOVE that feature!)

So, I'd like some advice on what to get her. Really like the $99 tag on the Kobo!

1. Can it read all the books I already have (I have some for her on my Nook .. I use Adobe Digital Editions on everything that's not B&N)

2. Can it read library books? (my library uses Overdrive, as do most, I assume)

3. Can I put B&N books on a Kobo? (using Adobe Digital Editions?????)

Other ideas? I do not want to go the Kindle route for her, since I think the library book checkout is a must have.

Thanks for your advice!
