Android Phone. Reads through Aldiko and Google Play Books (books obtained from multiple sources).
She said no to an e-reader before because she always has her phone with her when she wants to read, so I need an e-reader that I can keep the books synced between the devices, synced meaning what books are there, and what page she is on.

I'm going to throw a thought in here, though not about device. I got my mother an eInk Kindle, at her request. She still preferred reading on the Kindle app on her iPhone. I'm not trying to dissuade you from getting an ereader for your wife, just wanting to prepare you for the possibility that she might still prefer her phone. Many do.
Now onto the device... LCD screens aren't harder on everyone's eyes. You might also consider a Nexus 7 (or other android tablet) or Kindle Fire device. An android tablet would use the same apps she's already used to. The Nexus line is from Google, and other manufacturers make them as well. Samsung is of course another big player in android tablet-land. The Kindle Fire would be limited to the Amazon app store, but would sync with a Kindle app on the phone.
