A Kindle 3 would probably be better, but as you say, no library support and I know that Overdrive support is supposed to be coming for K3 users, but it's North America only currently as far as I know. Kobo Touch is out of the question.
The Sonys do have paging buttons, though not optimally placed. If your mum is okay with using the touchscreen just to select books, then a Sony might be worth considering. I do use the page turn buttons often while reading left-handed, and I don't find the reading experience bad. I would think that the Pocketbook 360+, with its huge and well-placed page turn buttons, would be worth considering but for the fact that it's a 5" ereader, and thus might be too small for the elderly to use comfortably.
Good luck though, I hope you find something suitable.
