I've added all the new recs to the list in my post above, thanks.

The Kate Shugak mysteries already have so many recs in here in the last few posts that I would've gotten it for her anyway, but then the first one is free, so even better as it leaves room for even more. And not that it matters so much, but the character being Native American sounds interesting. The person we're giving this to has a little Native American ancestry, so I think she'd like that.

Also with the second rec and since I was leaning towards a Lehane anyway but not knowing which one to get, I'll probably also definitely get her at least the first of that series, A Drink Before War.

We have indeed gotten her a Kindle, a Kindle Paperwhite with 3G. For her, we wanted the simplest, easiest to use device possible, all things considered, to maximise chances of her actually using it and getting used to it. If she does use it, I doubt she'll ever even connect it to her computer. And if I weren't setting everything up for her, she might never even set anything up. Once and if she reads the books we're pre-loading, hopefully she'll get used to it and like it and then want to buy more e-books of her choosing. Then at best I think she will only use the Kindle store on her device and only buy books directly from the e-reader.
