Usability is a big issue. She is NOT a tech person, so an easy to use interface is very important (I'm likely going to be the one adding books to the device). Also, she will only be using the device for reading and no other features. Basically I think the ideal device will be the one most book-like.

I'd like not to spend lots of money too, if possible, but I can guilt other family members into splitting the bill, if necessary.

So, which device do you think is best?
1.) You have a Kindle. So easy to help her out with any questions.
2.) For ease of use? I really don't think Kindle can be beat.

Seems a pretty easy choice.
