If they're epub, mobi, or azw books, then a small e-ink screen will work fine. You can just switch the font sizes, and reflow everything.

If they're pdf, then a larger screen will be necessary. If you can't use the standard glowing screens, large e-ink screens can get expensive.

What kind of user interface?

If you have trouble with touchscreens, then either a button-based device, or a touch device with a lot of accessibility settings. I had a hard time with an Icarus Illumina before it broke, but an easier time with a Likebook Mars. Still trouble typing, and with certain menus in less-responsive spots.
I am unsure which book file format. I do want page turn buttons. My issue with the Kindle Oasis is the cost. $80-$100 more than the Kobo.
