Can't be that much worse than an old PRS-505, can it?
I also have a 5" Bookeen reader I could give her, but the battery is a bit on the low side, and it doesn't have a glow light.
It's a nice device, though small in size and pixels, but the glo light is necessary for night reading.
I bet she'll be alright, if she can open the epub, and flip pages.

Actually, it can be not nice sometimes. It overhyphenates and some find that really annoying. Also, some say that if the margin shorthand is used in the CSS, that can case problems. The font handling is not all that good. It tends to render a bit lighter than Sony, Kobo, & Amazon. There are no collections so managing content is a heck of a mess. The UI is AWFUL.
Overall, the reading experience is not as good as Sony or Kobo. So please don't give it to your wife. Get her a good Reader.
One other thing I dislike about the nook is the feel. It's shape is just odd. I have a nook STR and it's the Reader I don't like to hold the most.
