Obviously not a real option for your daughter, but the Pandigital readers are Android-based (2.x also), and they can be rooted - if it's the latest hard/firmware, this makes them faster and basically turns it into an Android tablet.
It's literally 80% of an iPad's functionality at 15% of the price, although it does take fairly significant tech know-how. It also allows you to install both the Kindle and Nook software from the Android marketplace - so you get the functionality of both.
Odd little aside, but with stores blowing them out for as low as $60 (and with them readily available on the Bay for under a hundred), I thought it might be worth mentioning.
To get back to the thread: with Android 3 tablets on the horizon, the answer to this question might soon be "neither, and cheaper" so if you don't want one this minute, holding out could be a boon. Both get rave reviews, though, so I'd definitely try both out in-store and go with what suits your fancy there.
