If you want to catch up on the new Star Wars Canon check out my video explaining the new canon.
I pulled these images from the preview of the book on Amazon.
Hope this isn't a repost or anything. It has some interesting stuff, I'll probably order it soon.
EDIT I just found and made an album for the other book, Star Wars: The Force Awakens Incredible Cross-Sections.
Also on Amazon.

If anyone gets to pontificate it should be him.
I got this for Christmas and immediately starting tearing into it. These facts are just a small amount of the neat things you can find in it. I highly encourage you to buy it. Mine came from Amazon.
I read a review of the new movie where they said they didn't need the new movie to be good, but that they just wanted it to exist. The movie would introduce so many new devices, locations, creatures, and more. It being good would just be the cherry on top. This book is an example of all the extra goodies we are getting by this movie just existing.
Its the visual dictionary, I just bought it a few hours ago at Barnes and Noble

Here are some other reasons which explain more about Rey's talents and abilities:
From "Star Wars: The Force Awakens, "Star Wars The Force Awakens: Before the Awakening" and "Star Wars: Force Awakens Incredible Cross Sections"

I just ordered one!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary
This is from Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary being sold on amazon if anyone is interested https://www.amazon.com/dp/1465438165/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_CNvEwbH4B27ZG
I believe it's from the Star Wars Force Awakens Visual Dictionary: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Awakens-Visual-Dictionary/dp/1465438165
If you're more into world-building than story, I think you'd really enjoy some of the reference books. I'm especially thinking of the visual dictionaries which expand on the characters, planets, and tech from the movies. There's also the Galactic Maps and Complete Locations books too, which really are world building books.
The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary
Rogue One Visual Dictionary
The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary
Star Wars Galactic Maps
Star Wars Complete Locations
If you are looking for something comprehensive send her a link to Wookieepedia instead. It's far more complete than any printed encyclopedia, contains both canon and Legends information and it's constantly being updated when new things are released. It's a lore geek's best friend.
As far as the gift goes, you could still get her that Visual Encyclopedia because it's got lots of really nice pictures. Alternatively, Ultimate Star Wars, The Complete Visual Dictionary, The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary, Rogue One Visual Dictionary and the Character Encyclopedia are all good books that have a lot of great info in them. You could also go with the Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, although it's no longer complete and much of the information is no longer canon.
Whatever you pick, make sure it's from the heart and I'm sure she'll like it.

It's the visual dictionary.

I definitely like Kylo more than Rey. I'm super HAPPY with the entire cast including Rey. But my heart has always been with the bad guys. I knew I was going to love Kylo the most the moment I saw him. In fact the moment I saw him I looked at my boyfriend and said "You're costuming that." like he didn't have an option, I'm making him a Kylo and he's going to be mine and that's that!
But I LOVE the point you brought up that this movie really makes you sympathize with the bad guys and I loved that. You feel for Finn who is freaked out by the power and cruelty of the first order and you actually feel for Kylo who is struggling between light and dark. Watching the promos and getting hyped, I never imagined I would feel for Kylo. I assumed I'd sit there and think he was amazing but I didn't think I'd connect with him, it was actually kind of nice! I'm circle jerking, I know, I can't help it.
Here's a list of shit you need to pick up:
The visual dictionary
The Art of Star Wars the Force Awakens
And you mentioned having a book with layouts of the death star and such so you may like Incredible Cross Sections.
And from what EVERYONE I know has been telling me, The Force Awakens novelization is a must read if you want juicy little details that weren't made crystal clear in the movie!
Also, if you are not reading the comics. STOP. RIGHT. NOW. AND. READ. THEM!!
In order of priority:
Darth Vader
Star Wars
Princess Leia
Shattered Empire
And read Kanan if you're a Rebels fan. I HAVE the comic I just haven't read that one yet!
But no seriously that Darth Vader comic. The stuff that happens. UGH. NERDGASM. After reading them and re-watching the movies in preparation for TFA I fell in love with the originals all over again. It was like that fresh awesome new love I had for them the first time! So good!
Here you go. :)

ok, so the Visial Dictonary (amazon-link: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Awakens-Visual-Dictionary/dp/1465438165/ref=sr_1_17?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1451500664&sr=1-17&keywords=star+wars+vii+in+books) is officially canon too, because it was released after A New Dawn? There is more background info on the movies characters.
What about the older Visiual Dictonaries?
I don't own it but I do see Kylo's page is a preview page on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Awakens-Visual-Dictionary/dp/1465438165
(I can't zoom in enough to read well on my phone ATM)
I would say DK books, like this or this. They are informative and have cool facts, but aren't super in-depth like the Complete Encyclopedia.
There's a good shot of it in the amazon preview of the Star Wars visual dictionary. They're totally different.

One of the main points of confusion for me was the planets they blew up. Hux waxes on about destroying the New Republic and then proceeds to obliterate a handful of planets that seem to be political seat of power for it. Having seen the previous movies you would think that mean they blew away Coruscant which was where the Galatic Senate was located and had been for a millennium. If that was the case, i was surprised that it seems to generate little reaction.
But that wasn't the case. The blew up a planet called Hosnian Prime because the New Republic rotated the location on the new Galactic Sentate based on elections.
You wouldn't know this unless you bought Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary or were bugged enough like me to Google it until I found some answers.
Amazon link for those that want it: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary https://www.amazon.com/dp/1465438165/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_z8bEwb2E3GYCY
If you want some blanks filled in, try the Force Awakens novelization. I haven't read it myself, but I've heard from a lot of people that there's some information in there that wasn't in the movie, as well as further developed character relationships.
I also suggest The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary. After seeing the movie the first couple of times, I had a ton of questions. This book answered a great deal of them.
It sucks that the comic isn't good. I wasn't expecting much, simply because it was a 4-issue mini-series. That seemed really short, so I basically expected them to speed through the plot, rather than adding to it.
I had really hoped that Disney would take this opportunity to really streamline the Star Wars universe, and keep everything consistent and in-continuity across the board. I'd hoped they'd put people in charge who really cared about the quality of the stories they were telling and the products they were releasing. But that hasn't really been the case. Between low quality releases and completely ignoring The Old Republic, I haven't been terribly happy with the new expanded universe.
Are you looking for novels or just books?
For novels I would say Aftermath
I also recommend The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary
One damn Google search and I found one of the three canon books of it that came out.
Learn to Google fu, mate.
