Yep. Ereaders aren't quite at the level of impulse purchases. Depending on what you get, they don't have to be enormously expensive, but they are unlikely to be "cheap".

In general, I assume you get what you pay for. When I'm looking at a purchase, I toss out the highest and lowest priced selections automatically, and look at the stuff in the middle. The highest priced is unlikely to have value sufficient for me to consider it a worthwhile purchase. The lowest priced is likely to have quality or functional issues that will make it unsuitable. If it doesn't do what I need to do, it's a bad deal regardless of how cheap it is.

Price will be only one factor in the purchase decision, and arguably should not be the most important.
