The MeMo has the advantage of choices in color (lol?) and the Tab 3 has brand power. Really the only ones I can suggest.

The Lenovo/HP models that are even cheaper, I have no idea how they would handle but that might be too much of a budget cut. The Acer models aren't bad... They also aren't good.

Price is high though.

Thanks guys. I think she's leaning towards the Kobo Arc 7. I've forwarded her your suggestions and info.

Much appreciated!
