Another option is to check pawn shops for an older Kindle (like a Kindle Keyboard), as people report finding them for around $20-$30. Add a book light and you should be set.
Or maybe watch Craigslist or pawn shops for deals on a Paperwhite 1 or 2
Just a tip if buying used. Make sure you can register it to your Amazon account
before you pay to ensure that it's not a blacklisted device.

It didn't seem to need as much semi-fragile treatment as my tablet (due to less electronic stuff and no glass)

Just a note. Current Kindle's use a standard eInk screen which does indeed have a glass substrate that is quite fragile if not treated well.
