I own the SOVOS and find it to be a great bit of kit. It is small enough to be portable and big enough to be functional. I have watched a couple of movies on it and read many books all without any problems.

I have not previously seen the one from WH Smith so cannot comment on it.

Why not an e-ink genuine e-reader if she really is into books?

The glaring screen is the whole reason for ereaders.

e-ink devices won't play movies as the refresh rate is far too slow.
