Reading on a remote beach is one of life's undeniable pleasures. The Paperwhite improves on the original in some pretty great ways. You will have access to the full breadth of eBooks available on Amazon at $2.99 or less, but the Paperwhite also offers built-in adjustable ligh whether you're reading indoors and outdoors, day and night. The thinnest and lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet, it now has Bluetooth for playing back audiobooks too.

If your traveler friend finds over-ear headphones uncomfortable, the Bose QuietControl 30 are a solid in-ear option.
QC30's internal battery generally provides an average of eight hours of use before needing to be topped off again. The most obvious transition from the 20i headphones is from wired to wireless. For the eagle-eyed, the name has subtly changed too, from QuiteComfort (in line with its over-ear cans) to QuietControl. The QC30s let you adjust how much of the outside world you want to hear.
