I'd love a good, solid, frontlit 6'' e-reader with buttons for $30 or €30 but considering that the e-readers made by manufacturers who are
not counting on making most of their income from book sales, not device sales, tend to cost
more than the Amazon or Kobo (or Nook) e-readers, I am assuming that it would be quite impossible to make good quality frontlit e-readers at this point for $30, especially when you're aiming it at people who don't want wireless connectivity and specifically don't want to be tied to the device manufacturer's bookstore.
Perhaps in another few years!

Why not keep the Wi-Fi off on your girlfriend's Kindle if you don't want auto-updating? You can always easily sideload any Amazon-bought Kindle books.
