I have a Kindle and Kobo, but can’t shut off the web browsers. Besides, they are helpful when logging into WiFi portals. I use my Kobo to log into Overdrive to get ebooks, too.
It might be easier to just prevent the ereader from accessing the web via MAC address blocking on her router, but maybe somebody out there has other suggestions. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the web browser on a Kindle, you can barely use it. They call it experimental for a reason. I think mostly the reason being is that sometimes if you connect to free wifi for downloading a book you need the browser to login. It barely does that. As for any seedy pictures, Kindles don't do pictures well. Avoid the fire tablets as they are for web use.
