I just snagged another for about $45. Subtract my $9 in eBay bucks and my actual cost was $36. Supposedly the Sony lighted cover is included! I already have two refurb Sony 350 readers, this third one is destined to be a gift. This reader went for like $170 when new. Build quality is very nice. Reading experience is great. Speaking of cheap, but decent quality, I also recently picked up a Kindle Keyboard for $52 shipped. It's a refurb, but otherwise, nothing wrong with it. I tipped off a relative to the same deal, she opted for the 3G model at $62. She says hers looks great.

I saw a Sony 300 for $30 (which includes shipping.) Generally, you can get several different kinds of ereaders (Sony, Aluratek, Pandigital...) for $30-60 if you buy them used. My Kindle 3 was bought for $40, my Nook Classic for $30, and my Kindle 4 was $50. Leaving out Birthday/Christmas presents, none of my ereaders were bought new. All of the ereaders that I currently own that I bought
myself equal around the cost of one Paperwhite. That's three ereaders for the price of one.
