The iPad is actually fairly simple in comparison to some eink readers. The iPad is easier to use then Sony, Amazon, Kobo, & B&N.

Thanks for the advice.
Last weekend we took a chance and bought her a Kindle Touch. With the font set to it's largest she can read it. At the time she did say that she preferred the larger screen of the iPad, but we checked with her today and she has almost finished her first book using the Kindle and seems to really enjoy using it.
However, we have said to her to let us know if she wants to try something else.
One advantage of an e-ink reader is the battery life. I can plug it in for her so she only has to unplug it (she might have a problem inserting the USB charger).
