I think you can't know, and probably she can't know too, until she tries the e-readers.
For example, I have a first generation h20, after having tried my sister-in-law Clara HD for a couple of days I decided that something smaller, lighter and with warm light would have been great.
When I saw that the Libra had been released I decided that I absolutely wanted it lol
Well, last week I went to the store and made the mistake of taking a Forma in hand (for the first time), and I fell in love with the ergonomics, the lightness and the non recessed screen.
I have tried in store both of them and I like the Forma better, despite being bigger than my H20 (remember that I wanted something smaller lol), despite it being black, and I wanted a white device for a change.
My hands are small but I don't have to force the position of the thumb unnaturally to press the Forma buttons, like it happens for me with Libra.
Maybe it would be the opposite for her...
The best thing would be to find a way to let her try both, perhaps by going to a store that displays both and letting her try them "by chance"
