I imagine which reader you buy will be dependent on what she is comfortable with. If you are just planning on using it for best sellers and such then I would suggest a reader with its own store and established support system. The Kindle and the Sony Reader are both good choices.

The big name ebook readers are simple to use and have a wide variety of ebooks available to them without having to monkey around with possible illegal sites or activities and as HarryT stated, there are plenty of free ebooks available in places like manybooks.net and right here in the ebooks section.
