Christmas buying for the readers in your family

Both of my daughters are voracious readers and you will never find them without a book hidden somewhere on their persons.  Because they read, I have been toying with buying them a really special gift this year that they will enjoy for years to come.  Of course, I am talking about a Kindle Reader.  My problem is deciding which size to get them.

Since they both carry purses, I may opt for the smaller, 6" reader that can fit in a bag and go anywhere.  The other plus to this gift is that there are so many books and magazines and newspapers available for the reader at a very minor cost.  I could give them the reading materials for birthday gifts.  Hey, what an idea!

I can see my girls sitting on a beach in Cancun reading a book with the reader--that would probably be my youngest daughter.

My oldest would probably be found reading in bed for the most part, but still she would be reading at quite a fast pace.  I think the reader, being small and light-weight would make reading in bed easier and more user friendly.

What do you think?  Do you think I am on the right path with this gift?
