My 8 year old wants an eReader from the fat man with the white beard. ive been looking at the Nook Glowlight and the kindle paper white. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Which one would be better for age appropriate material available in the store?

She has an iPad mini so not looking for readers with games and so on. I know I can get reading apps for the mini and iBooks, but this is all she is really asking for. She loves to read so I don't mind buying her another device dedicated just for that.

Do you already have Amazon Prime? They have a free lending library where you can check out books on a Kindle. I'm not sure how kid appropriate the selections are, but one of the things they always tout there are the Harry Potter books. LINK

Long-time kindle user here and I recommend the paper white highly. Amazon pretty much dominates the market now, not only with the books they sell but also their support for the Overdrive lending system used by many libraries. And they'll be around to support it for a long time, not something you can say about the other e-readers.
