Actually the Kindle does have a web interface, it's crappy, but it works for certain things.
My wife has the old Kindle DX, it was like 40lbs. The kids and I have the smaller Kindles and she said she wanted one like ours, easier to hold and read in bed. I ended up getting her the Kindle Touch for Christmas.
I debated because the style we have allows for the case with the built in light to be used and the Touch doesn't. Which means she'll still have need for a reading light.
Oh, well Amazon is great about returns/exchanges so we're going with this model.

She considered the Fire but after reading the reviews decided she wouldn't like one.
I prefer the standard Kindle for reading, for me the E-ink is a better option. Outdoor use, no back lit screen to keep you up at night...(if the studies are actually true).
