Ereader for sufferer of macular degeneration
My 95 yr old mother has the above condition and is currently finding my ereader great as she can enlarge the font to much bigger than a large print book. I would like to get her one of her own, maybe a 7" screen or even a bit bigger. Not too big as weight could become an issue. The problem will be her ability to see/feel the buttons and the list of titles. Would a touch screen with icons be better? And is there a reader which allows you to increase the size of everything on the screen, not just the text of the books? As she lives 2,000 ks from me and on her own, there won't be anyone to help her on a daily basis.

TIA
