Actually your post was very interesting. She just told me that she reads better on the backlit computer screen than on paper - I then equated computer screen with backlit device and paper with eInk. But it would definitely be worth it to have her check out my own Kindle with big fonts on and see how that goes.
However, the only large-screen eInk reader I know is the Kindle DX, which costs an arm for rather limited functionality.

I was going into this really skeptical about getting a tablet but I'm starting to change my mind.
A big screen for a reasonnable price range is a huge argument in a tablet's favor. I don't know shit about tablets tho, so that'll take quite a lot of research. I'll get started on the models you told me, once I'm done converting all those inches in centimeters :P
