Hello Cindy:
I'll gladly support the nomination of the Kindle for your husband. The range of font sizes is one of its attractions as is the ease of use.
DixieGal comments on the keys with small writing on them ... that's the keyboard in QWERTY format that you can use to write notes in the books that you read. There are only three of those keys you will need/use if you aren't making notes. The key to change the font size (known as the "Aa" key) is the right-most key on the bottom row of the keyboard. The "Alt" key is the left-most key on the bottom row. (You press the alt key at the same time as the Aa key to lock or unlock the Kindle.) The "home" key is smack-dab in the middle of the bottom row with a wide space to its left so it is easy to find even if you can't read the symbol on it. Even with limited vision, your hubby should have no problems in using the Kindle.
Other options for US residents include the Sony Reader. It's a nice device, too, but from my comparisons, its large font size is nowhere near the large on the Kindle.
The Cybook Gen 3 also looks like it would fit your needs. Even the eBookwise used by DixieGal should work.
The Kindle's network connectivity makes it easy for the non-technical person to use, but with you around to load up books on the device, your hubby should do well with any of the recommended devices.
