A Kobo H2O would be very good because it is big and you can increase the weight of the fonts.
I think the Nook ST includes a bold version of Caecilia, which is a very clear font for bad eyesight. Look for the bold option in the settings. You do not need to run Android. The basic software will provide it.
IMO screen clarity has not improved significantly on newer devices. An non-illuminated Pearl screen is as clear as a illuminated Carta screen (whose clarity was reduced due to the layer installed to spread the light). But a clear light will aid clarity, be it sunlight, a good lamp or a back-light.
