Checking gift card balances is very easy to do when buying books using computer, smartphone or tablet. Not so much on an e-ink Kindle.

True, and that's by design (on the Kindle).
Perhaps a better option is to set up an alternate Amazon account using a pre-paid Visa card. Use that for your Kindle purchases and top it off by sending yourself gifts from your primary account. FSVO "better" since it trades one annoyance for another, and I'd rather use up the balance than let Amazon collect interest on my money.
