1) battery life: I read about two hours a day with Koreader, backlight off, wifi and bluetooth off. I charge the device up to 80% and recharge when it gets down to 20%. I can go about a week between charges.
2) I haven’t accidentally turned pages in the wrong direction with the buttons. (In general, no issues with the buttons that I’ve noticed.)
I know she's going to use the device for around 4 hours day with the front light on. Bluetooth will be off, but Wi-FI will come on to sync with my BookOrbit server.

If you're charging once a week, I can see her needing to charge every other day. That might be a bit too often for her. Ideally, I'd like to charge only once a week.
