I have used Libre Office Writer to prepare example pdf file with various font sizes, with black background and white text.
If you open it on almost any e-ink reader, it will work.
Used font is Ubuntu Font Bold.

The development of this highly readable font was paid for by the Canonical company - authors of Ubuntu Linux
You "just" need to prepare such pdf for each book the visually impaired user wants to read. First you need to experiment a bit with format that is ideal for him/her.
I can provide odt document, or instructions, so you just copy and paste text into it and save. Preparation of such document just takes a few minutes and it can provide hours and hours of entertainment.
To get text for visually impaired person you need to register at some organization in your country that grants access for such people to many, many texts. There are also many texts available on Internet free of charge. I used a bit of "Sherlock Holmes adventures" from Project Gutenberg web site.
