the problem is the exiting books and finding the volume and power buttons on the kindle fire hd is extremely difficult. also need so sort of light to show when charging
I just checked.

The $99 Kindle HD6 (not sure when it will be available in Europe?) has accessibility features, most importantly voice over: see attached for options.
The on button is easy to feel (top of device), the micro usb is right next to it. When you plug it in, there is a sound and the screen turns on. No LED light, though.
The volume buttons are on the left, easy to feel as well.
