There are various overlays that are supposed to help, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with them.

One style of overlay uses small bumps to add to the feel of the screen. For example, the TacScreen. This style can probably be adapted to any tablet and any software. That still leaves me wondering if it's enough.

Another style uses cut-outs to limit taps to specific spots. That is obviously limited to a single device and set of software.

With glowing screens, a blue or green overlay may also help reduce red light. With e-ink and lcd screens, that may not be necessary.
One think you can do is get a Kobo Reader. With a Kobo, you can set page turns to having to swipe. So if you accidentally touch the page turn zones you won't turn the page. Two of the current devices have page turn buttons that you can use if you find that easier for page turns. Kindles do not have an option for swiping for page turns so that is why I would say a Kindle is not good for your condition.
