Continuing to read on an e-reader may well accelerate the deterioration of her eyesight. Android e-readers/tablets are not easy to use and more suited to enthusiasts. There is sure to be support forums for those with serious visual problems where you can get guidance.
I hear you on this. I have suggested she use audiobooks more. We have an Audible subscription and have bought a good number of books that are of interest. But she still has an interest in "reading" as well. I think she gets bored if she's just listening for too long. She also wants books that may not have been released as audiobooks yet.
