I wouldn't discount the ability to read in bright light if you plan to read outside at all. Its an enormous difference between the two if you like to bring your reading out on the deck, to the beach, etc. The LCDs are tough in that lighting, or almost impossible if its really bright. All comes down to what she will use it for.

Oh, and the size doesn't seem to be a concern. My kindle is about a year and a half old with a bunch of books and its more than enough. IIRC they hold something like 1500 books and you could always delete if this was a concern.
