The reason is that if I want to load new books for her I can just take the card home and do this without taking away her reader. This way she won't be without her reader for a few days.
Edit: I've been doing some online reading and noticed that kobo supports epub and kindle does not. True?
I will not make many online purchases for her since I have an existing library that I downloaded myself from various sites. I just need to make sure that I can easily load these on whatever reader I buy (thinking kobo). Can this be done with calibre? I am noticing that none of their ebooks have SD cards.
Thx.

Kobo supports epub (and their own slightly modified kepub variant). They also support pdf, mobi for
old flavours of mobi and cbz/cbr (comics, manga). They also support RTF, HTML and txt along with several graphics formats. You might want to check the Clara HD (8 GB so about 6GB to load books onto) 6" 300PPI. Your local Chapters/Indigo/Coles/whatever other names they operate under should have one for you to handle.
If you are using calibre, you might want to look into setting up calibre server and exposing it to the internet (follow the security guide). Just connect to it and download the books over WiFi.
