Paperwhite 2013 is the best for bad eyes.

My question is will the Paperwhite be easier to read with less strain on my eyes? I'm thinking it will be but I thought I'd check with this forum before I take the plunge.
I use the Paperwhite 2013 for reading eBooks and have both cataracts and macro degeneration with 100 year old eyes. I can't read paper books at all but with the PW 2013 its clear as day. Surgically removing cataracts could cause severe worsening for macro degeneration so I'm going this way to the very end.

I don't use any glasses anywhere.

I can also read good on a 24" Monitor and with my HDX 2013. Reading on TV's is mostly blurry for me. I can also read good on my Samsung Galaxy s5 (5.1 inch screen).
