high Contrast reader

Hi all,

I am looking for a birthday present for my brother. He is a voracious reader but because of impaired vision he reads on a PDA (Axim), this is so he can increase the font size and have a yellow lettering on a black background which is most comfortable for him.
I'd like to get him something like his PDA but with a larger screen, touch screen not necessary.
Is there something out there with at least a 7" screen, can increase the font size of books and change the background and font color?
I was thinking about an old tablet PC like a TC1100 by HP. It's a little overkill just for reading, not to mention spendy.
I looked at the Sony Reader at Borders and it's a nice size and weight but the screen looks nothing like a book (more like my old clie PDA) or the photos on the website. Plus can't change the color. I admit I only played with it for a few minutes so maybe I missed somethig.
Any ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
