My wife has a Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Unlimited. I would prefer a larger screen so I can enlarge the font. I am near sighted and need larger font. I want a lighted display in Eink. Yes I can read from the iPad but it can be fatiguing. Where should I start? Feel free to ask questions to help me find the right item.

Forget all Kindles, Kobos, etc. recommendations.
All of these "brands" want to bind buyers to their bookshops through the built-in software.
With an Android EInk tablet (Boox, Likebook) you are independent of all book distributors.
With the Kindle app you can read and also borrow or buy Amazon books, with Libby or the Overdrive you get overdrive books, with the Pocketbook app Adobe DRM books are no problem.
Android EInk Tablets are available in sizes 6, 7.8, 10.3 and 13.3 inches, not 7 inches.
I did learn the hard way by falling for such stupid suggestions (Kindle, Kobo, Tolino) and now only use Android devices from Boyue-Likebook and Onyx-Boox, which I have configured according to my requirements.
