Red face Gift for mom...

Hello,
My first post on this forum

I use my Android tablet to read ebooks/pdf. I have a Kindle and a Kobo account and I like flexibility of switching "Book provider" as I feel.

I am now confronted to a small problem. My dad asked me to find an ebook reader for Christmas for my mom... She can't handle a tablet. Actually, she could but it would put me on the spot as a 24/7 tech support for all the problems and questions that would arise with that kind of device . Since she needs only the ebook functionality, and the budget my dad gave me is not enough for a good tablet, I now need to face the truth : I have no idea how to chose an ebook reader!

This is where you guys come into play!

#1 : She read only french book so the french selection is very important (I read mostly English book so my knowledge of the french selection on the Kindle or Kobo stores is close to zero)
#2 : She will mostly be reading inside but I'm sure she will bring the device on vacation and read on the beach with a tasty rum punch
#3 : She is over 65 and wear reading glasses so mini readers are out...
#4 : Budget for the purchase is around 150$ (Canadian)
#5 : I love my mom so I want here to have the best she can!

Considering all this, any suggestion would be nice!
Thank you everyone!

Vincent
