eBook reader for my old mother

Hi,
I was searching internet and read a lot of reviews and really I could not find what I want and finally I decided to ask here where is a big community. I hope that I can get a good advice. I am a an experienced user of e-book readers, first I started using Ebookwise 1150, but now I have been using tablets and the calibre program to change a format to epub. Most books are downloaded from various sources on internet to my computer.
Now I am looking for an eBook reader for my mother. She reads a lot but recently starts having problems with her eyes. She is over 90 and glasses cannot help any more to improve her view. She needs books with a larger letters, but she is not reading in English and I cannot find books in our language with big letters in our library. She is borrowing books from local library which have a lot of books in our language, but now she also needs brighter light to help her to read. I realised that reading for her becomes a problem and I want to find some good ereader where I can increase fonts and put some back lights if it necessary. Finding and opening a book should be a simple operation. I think using a tablet is too complicated for her. There is no need for a big connectivity. I will put books to the reader from my computer and change the format. I looked at those popular eReaders and I find that the latest kindle paperwhite and Kobo could be good choice, but I think that I need an ereader with a little bigger display and there are some Chinese ereaders with a bigger screen but I do not have any experience with them.
I made here a long story.
I would appreciate any advice and recommendation.
