I think it is fabulous that she wants/has an ebook reader at her age. When I was 14, my dream was a bookstore the size of a shopping mall. They have those now. And the idea that I could download all of the books in this shopping mall and carry them around in my pocket would have been a dream come true.
I use the text to speech and and dictionary features of my Kindle a lot. I am not a huge music person so I use text to speech to read while I walk, either at the gym or when commuting, instead of listening to music on an ipod. And I use the dictionary feature when I read in French. Other than a lack of those two features, my Sony was perfectly fine, my Libre (my current back-up reader on which I keep a slightly different set of content) is fine, and the Kobo I got my mom is fine. They are all perfectly adequate and I bet she'd be happy with any of them, so you may consider selling it and buying a cheaper model if the Kindle doesn't have features you absolutely need. As I said, my mother readers were perfectly fine---except for the lack of the two features it happens the Kindle had, which I wanted.
I would be very curious for you to share some of your book list with us. I enjoy YA books and would love to know which classics your 14-year-old enjoys.
