Ashes, by Ilsa Bick. Terribly frustrating ending but OMG the story that starts out sounding like a girl with a brain tumor and ends up being a zombie apocalypse is AMAZING. Can't wait for the next one.
Many of the dystopias I've read have had female protagonists, so I should ask about that before recommending more.
Oh, and still a female protagonist, but going back into the classic, try "Rite of Passage" by Alexei Panshin if it's available. It's about teens coming of age on a spaceship where teens become adults by being dumped on a world and having to survive on their own. It's one of my top books.
LMK on the female protagonist thing and I'll go through my list of recent reads and see if there's anything there that's dystopia/post apocalypse that might suit. There is something... on the tip of my tongue... but I can't remember it now. ARGH.
Whee for the reading!! My son prefers reading on the iPad over books, too, so I can totally see the use of the Fire.

I just took The Knife of Letting Go by Patrick Ness out but haven't read it yet.
