Oops, missed that earlier, sorry. She has her own computer, so she has her own calibre installation with its own configuration folder. So no need for scripting, just set up that installation of calibre on her computer as she'd like it. Your installation on your computer would be entirely different/independent.

The browser on Paperwhite may be better than on Kindle 3, don't know. Yeah, colorful stuff and settings to mess with in her calibre on her computer. Sounds fun even to me (despite being out of elementary school awhile).
Edit: Another colorful option you could implement is Column Coloring, to make text different colors in specified columns for different kinds of books.
And larger font size.
Edit2: Also I think using calibre would be a great educational/learning experience for a child.
