So...next steps?
Before retirement did she use "real" computers (as opposed to point of sales computers etc.)?

It sounds like she is grudgingly accepting the reader but balking at the use of a computer. If so then (assuming that she has a computer) download the books that she wants while she watches, but don't try to show her how to do it.

After a while it will look familiar to her. By then she will, hopefully, have gotten in to reading on the ereader. Now start to teach her to download the books that she wants.
