I wanted to keep an open mind about this, I thought maybe button less might work.

But no, Kobo has proved that buttonless is not going to work with PDF on a small reader at least. When zoomed into PDF, Kobo has no way of knowing if I want to turn page or just scroll around. Until Kobo improve their software and somehow be able to diffierentiate the different types of input, buttons is a must for PDF on a small screen.

What is your budget?
What kind of books does your friend reads? Comics? Manga? PDF? Fiction?
How tech savvy is your friend?
Does screen size matter?
Budget is not any issue, because it's a gift to my best friend.

Any ebook format can be access and he has sound knowledge in technology
I am not sure about screen size, as per device standard.

You can look at which are easest to find where you are. Differences are mostly minor. If you go for frontlight, most known are kindle and kobo and they have several models. Without frontlight, add nook and sony. If you are in Europe, there is also tolino. Standard size is 6 inches, but they could be bigger and smaller. I don't believe either will be mistake.
