Even if she's in a non 3G area and has access to a computer Kindle might be easiest for her because all you have to do is download your file and copy it over using USB. She wouldn't need to install any software like Adobe Digital Editions and then authorize whatever computer she's using to get books onto her device like most of the ePub based devices would require. Nook wouldn't require that either, but AFAIK you have to jump through some hoops to make purchases from B&N when not in the US. Of course if she's bringing a computer with her she wouldn't have to worry about installing Adobe Digital Editions and authorizing once there as you/she could get that all set up before she leaves.
One thing to consider that most readers (but not Kindle without some work) will allow the download of eBooks from the library if your local library offers it. Even if it doesn't for $15 you can get her a non-resident card from the Philadelphia Free Library (unless you happen to live there then it's free) and she can get some of her books from there. This does require Adobe Digital Editions, but if that's not an issue it can be a nice extra to have.
Will this reader be for reading fiction or???
