If she really likes to read, and I'm assuming your choice of gift means she does, then I do think the larger screens tend to be more immersive. At least for me they are, and I'm one of those who reads like I breathe, LOL! (Constantly.)

The other thing is that people don't always realize how nice a big screen is until they try it. Folks can be reluctant to go for change.

My husband is more of a Kindle guy, not a huge reader, but still enjoys reading. I'd keep seeing him using a smaller text size than I think he was truly comfy with on his Paperwhite, but when I mentioned he might like a larger screen, he didn't seem all that keen. But when Amazon started offering the trade in deal, I persuaded him to try, figuring if he hated it, no big deal to return an Oasis, get him another Paperwhite. He *loves* the larger screen of his Oasis 2 and I'm happy not to see him squinting at his reader.

If your lady ever reads anything illustrated, the large screen is wonderful for illustrations as well. As long as the publisher has done it with high enough resolution images.
