Why not get the old IPad for her? It is backlit, you can load nook, kindle, ibooks and whatever google's new one or she could use it for anything else she wants. I read at night when everyone is asleep so I could not live without my backlighting!

Using and IPad for reading is like reading on your computer after a while it bothers your eyes and is very hard to read outside. The Kindle does not have either of these problems, plus you do not need to buy a 3G plan with the Kindle not to mention that it cost a 1/3 of the price. There is now a 3G Kindle that cost $165 bucks if you don't mind having ads on the screen saver.
I have both and use the Kindle for reading and the IPad is an expensive toy. The E-ink display on the Kindle is wonderful for reading and I normally get a month of reading before I have to recharge it which makes it wonderful to take on a trip.
