Amazon is known for ease of use, so if the girlfriend wants little effort I would suggest the upcoming Kindle 3.
However, the Kindle 3 has a lot of flaws to my way of thinking. Since you expect the girlfriend to be willing to use calibre, she apparently has the energy to learn a little bit about how to use the device and make the most of it, as well as access to a computer.
In that case, I would recommend the jetBook Lite, which uses an SD card, has the reflective TFT screen (which I prefer over the eInk vizplex), and uses user-replaceable flashlight batteries. The JBL now can handle ADE ePub DRM as well as eReader DRM.
It was on sale two weeks ago at newegg.com for $89.99 with free shipping, and will undoubtedly go on sale again.
