Have visual issues myself. IMHO, and I may get blasted for it, I think a e book reader is simply not a viable option.

A laptop or Desktop with a program I found long ago worked best for me. You can get a full working version for free so you can try before you buy. You get a pop up screen every 20 min or so telling you its a trial version.

Google and try ice book reader pro. It worked so well for me I paid the 100 bucks for the full version. It has some amazing features.

At the time I purchased it I got updates for life. I THINK they still offer it. Hope you try it. Hope it works for your child. It sure opened up reading for me. Just a thought.
