Kiddie Tablet or E-reader - What Is Best for Almost 5 Year Old.

I'm interested in buying one of those kid tablets or e-readers for my daughter for my Christmas. She is not very techy but she has had a Mobi-Go for a few years that she really enjoys. Prior to that, we had the Tag Jr but she never really liked it and the Click Start My First Computer which she never got the hang of.
