I would really recommend an echo. I wish I had had it for my elderly father who had macular degeneration. He couldn't even read a clock. Alexa can give the time, day of the week, weather, time a nearby store opens and its phone numbers, as well as read audio books and play music on demand. It does need a server but once set up you could put the laptop in a closet or take it home with you.

Talk to your library. My library system had special players about the size of a tape recorder. People who were legally blind like those with macular degeneration, could get them. The player had a few really big button controls with distinctive shapes. It would read aloud the titles of the books or magazine loaded on a usb stick and open and read the one chosen. I managed his library account for him, downloading from the website and adding or removing from the usb stick. I suppose you could mail them to her if you are not nearby. He really enjoyed the Economist which very kindly made itself free to the legally blind. Her local library system might have other suggestions as well as The Society For The Blind.

For a kindle or oasis have you considered setting up a child account for her. The only books she would see on her kindle are those you put in the child account profile. You should be able to add and remove remotely.
