I go my Mom a Kindle DXG. It has a larger screen so that she can read an ok amount at a larger font size. It also can be moved so that she can read in landscape mode which puts more words on the page and is nice for the larger font sizes. The Sony 950 is a 7 inch reader so it might accomplish the same thing although it is still close the 3 inches smaller then the DXG.

the Sony 950 is a very sweet device but man that $300 price tag is just waay too much, way too much.

I think the Kindle or the kobo is the OP best route, I think Kobo/Borders has a pretty decent international support.
