There are two things to consider, as I mentioned in my previous comment. If your problem is really
contrast of text on paper, and not
size of the text, then an e-paper reader won't be a great buy. However, if you think a little font enlargement would make a paper-like screen more readable, then e-paper might do the trick.
I posted a little comparison of the new versus the older E-Ink generations compared to a hardcover and a paperback. The photos are very small close-ups but they give an idea of the relative contrast of the various reading surfaces. You can see those photos in
this post.
