eMachine laptop with 2GB of RAM - need a workable distro

Hi Group!

This is the machine:

E528-2821

Intel Celeron 900
15.6" 16:9 HD LCD
Intel GMA 4500M
2GB DDR3 Memory

250GB (Hitachi) HDD
DVD-Super Multi DL drive
802.11b/g/n Bluetooth excluded
4-cell Li-ion battery

[I didn't determine if it was 64-bit or not.]

It belongs to one of my ex-wives (I have two).

Her needs are simple:

(1) Listen to music (I gave her a USB-powered FM transmitter dongle that plugs into the audio jack, so she can hear music on any radio in the house.)
(2) Read ebooks
(3) Watch videos

I (mistakenly) installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and blew away Windows Home Edition. It is as deathly slow as Windows Home was.

Any suggestions of a distro that might run on this "cripple" and fill the bill for those 3 needs?

Thanks in advance,

- Ralph
