It's definitely worth a shot, although ereader UIs can be really difficult for the struggling-with-tech group to navigate.
My nonagenarian grandfather has an ancient kindle that he's been using for a decade or so. We tried to upgrade him to a larger modern kobo with a frontlight for better visibility. Unfortunately, the touchscreen proved to be a sticking point—he didn't really understand it, and kept accidentally jumping around in the book because he was holding it wrong. The kobo is now my father's (happily, he loves it).
If you go for it, I'd recommend (1) page turn buttons and (2) finding a device where you can lock down the number of features to really the bare minimum so that she doesn't get overwhelmed when she accidentally does something she doesn't understand. She might also need specific written instructions on how to turn pages and switch between books.
