And the answer is best left to the end user. Show your grandma your Kindle, take her to the closest store to see Kobo and/or Sony models. Let her decide, any of those eInk devices will fit the bill.
I think for someone with eyesight trouble, a larger screen is better. Which is why I suggested the Pocketbook Pro 903.
