I would get either a Nook Simple Touch or a Kindle Touch. I would get a touch because my daughter (who turns 11 next week) and most kids that age are still learning vocabulary, and my daughter tells me she uses the dictionary a lot. The dictionary is a pain to use with my non-touch Kindle. The touch feature is worth it for ease of use with the dictionary, particularly for a child who will have a lot of words to look up.
The Kindle is a little easier to get library e-books with. They can be downloaded over wi-fi. That might push me toward the Kindle Touch. And Amazon customer service is much easier to work with than B&N customer service. And Amazon seems more stable of a business than B&N - B&N isn't that profitable which makes me worry about their future. OTOH you can sometimes get Nook Touches very cheap. And you can read a book in the store if you go to a B&N, plus you have a store you can run into if she has questions and wants help. And you can add an SD card to a nook, which increases storage space available if you need more.
