She said that she has a kindle 1. The battery is user replaceable, no need to send the unit in. You just order a new battery from Amazon and they ship it to you. I would agree that it might be a good idea to buy a replacement battery before she goes, just in case.
I agree with most of what the others have said. Keep the kindle and keep buying books via Amazon. Download the purchase to your computer via the web interface. Then you can either simply copy the book to your kindle via usb, or de-drm it (if it's not topaz format) and shift it to a different format. That's basically what I do. My difference is that I do this to read the book on my Sony 505, since I find it easier to read on the Sony than the kindle.
