In addition, the Kindle doesn't require her to have an Amazon account if he simply makes it part of his account, but if he wants her to have it separate from his account, it's trivial to set up an account for her and then simply fill it with gift cards.

The key to me is whether there is acceptable cellular coverage in her area. If there is, then the 3G Kindle is an obvious choice. Especially since the OPs mother is unlikely to be a sophisticated user, and the Kindle store is definitely the easiest. But as ProfCrash says, it depends on whether she wants to be able to independently buy books, or always be dependent on him/her to obtain and transfer them.
