she could probably handle an e-reader. I haven't used other readers besides the Kindle, so I can't compare any features. Books can be downloaded directly to a Kindle and only one button is used to turn the pages. The font is adjustable. I find my Kindle easier to holdl than a regular book because I don't have to hold the pages open and it's lighter than most hardcover books.
