My Kindle Keyboard keeps its large print from book to book, and even after a hard reboot.

Advice for vans:

-- If you live in a country where you can easily return electronics, pick one and buy it.

-- To me, the differences between six inch eInk readers are not enough so a low vision person could read one and not another. Then, I'm not low vision.

-- Since your relative could read the iPad, maybe he or she needs back-lighting. Or maybe not. And Paperwhite/Glo devices are not back lit, although they might seem that way to some. Which gets back to the point about trying before permanently buying.

I googled to see if there was much informed discussion on low vision and eReaders. It does sound like each case may be different so you have to see what works.
