Having previously sold a different ereader the only time gender ever really played a minor role was color of the product. Women tended to prefer white while men preferred black. But even this was too far from a 100% to make it statistically relevant for anyone but a salesperson who gets asked “which color should I get my wife/girlfriend/husband/brother multiple times a day and they can’t just say ‘get either!’ And this is with otherwise identical products, not with three different products with different features.
The only person who knows what this woman wants in an ereader is her. Everything anyone else says is speculation colored by personal bias. Especially since none of us know anything about her other than her current ereader. Which is also not a great indication since we don’t know if she wants a bigger screen or not or if she likes buttons or prefers to slide/tap.
It’s like asking what kind of candy should I give someone who’s eating lifesavers. Except here if the crowd gets it wrong it costs significantly more than candy and is harder to return to the store.
