Decide whether you want the kind that looks more like white paper with ink or the kind that is actually an LCD screen like an iPad. The prior is more comfortable to read, but you are stuck with black and white and mostly text. The advantage is ease of reading on your eyes everywhere because it looks like paper, and weeks of battery life. The other kind is like iPad where it's a tablet with a glossy LCD screen but it displays vibrant colors. These can be hard to impossible to read in bright sunlight and have hours of battery life. You can usually find other features on e readers and tablets like web browsers, of course the internet looks better on the color LCD tablets. If she just wants to read books, get an e-ink type reader. If she wants a more varied device for computing as well, get a tablet.
