Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.
Reporting back in on one of fjtorres' suggestions-- font hack-- I get:

Cap "M" on the Kindle 2 with the font "Museo Slab BIG 125%"
- is 14.5mm wide x 11.5mm high.
Cap "M" on the Kindle 2 with the font "Museo Slab BIG 150%"
- is 17mm wide x 14mm high.

The Museo Slab Big font seems to have a nice contrast, which should also help Mom. The Largest, 150%, font size should be larger than she needs right now, but it gives her options down the road (including moving to the DX).

One other nice thing for her is that the home page and menu fonts are also larger.

I'll keep it set up for her on my Kindle and see how she likes it.
