Yes, of course the app you are using to read PDFs could cause them to be rendered differently.
Try loading the exact same app using the same .apk installer version as your wife's tablet is using.
If there are still issues, it may be related to the fonts loaded on your reader. By default most Android devices only have the basic Android Screen fonts, so if your wife's reader has loaded other apps which installed several additional fonts, that could also explain the difference.
I have been using the basic free Adobe reader app, which lacks some of the fancier features of ezPDF and RepliGo, but which does do a pretty nice job on basic fast accurate rendering of PDF files.
As far as how to get Android to let you change the default - I'm not positive that it works for all versions of Android, but on my 2.3 tablet all I have to do is install another reader, and the system recognizes that another PDF rendering app is available and prompts me to set which one to use as the default.
