I could use some advice.

I want to buy an eReader for my niece, and include with it a year's subscription to the Free Library of Philadelphia. My niece isn't really tech-savvy, and I don't want to force her through the Adobe rigmarole of downloading the book, plugging in eReader, authorizing eReader, sending book over.

I think those of you with Kindles have said that the library integration is truly seamless - you just send the book to your Kindle via the library interface, and then Kindle deletes the book when you're done. Is this right?

I guess I'm asking about Kindle Touch -- is it easy to use out of the box for someone who isn't tech savvy? And particularly with library books?

Also, how does one "gift" a Kindle? I'd order it from Amazon, but I don't want it associated with MY account. What will she need to do to set it up? Maybe I should walk her through this during Christmas.
