This may not be very helpful, but you should perhaps reconsider the decision of a back-lit device. E-ink readers are so cheap nowadays, and they are, in my experience (and some people disagree), much easier to read on than back-lit devices. When she said she prefers back-lit devices, is that after trying an e-ink reader? An e-ink reader does need a good light source but with a good light source, the contrast, the lack of a flickering backlight, and most of all, the light weight and low cost of the devices, really makes them shine as reading devices. You could consider a lighted cover. Tablets are, in my experience, heavy as pure reading devices and more tiring to the eyes. If your mother has seen an e-ink reader with a good deal of light present, then I apologize, but if not, I would say definitely try it. If you were in the US i would have suggested buying a Kindle because the return policy is very generous, but I don't know what it's like for international customers.
