excerpt:

And given that at least 54% of people who read e-books read them on a smartphone part of the time, and 14% use a smartphone primarily, it seems like a good thing to know. A $50 Fire tablet is nice and all, but a $10 Android phone would be a lot easier to carry in a pocket—and even less of a financial loss if accidents happen.

So, I went out and grabbed one of the LG Sunrise phones for myself, and spent a couple of hours playing with it. And I am happy to report that it is a reasonably useful e-reader—and the fact that it only costs ten bucks makes it an excellent e-reader.

And at $10, well, why not? After all, the phone includes an AC-to-USB travel charger, a USB cable, and a 4 GB SD card, and those are worth $10 all by themselves.

But let’s move on to the main event: e-books. The phone has a 3.8” 320×480 display—the exact same resolution as a late-model Palm PDA or an early-generation non-Retina iPhone or iPod Touch, in a slightly larger form factor. It’s not the best screen in the world, but it’s amply legible. As an Android phone, it comes with Google Play Books as a standard pack-in, plus it has the genuine Google Play Store for downloading other apps. For my tests, I stuck with Play Books and the Amazon Kindle app, since that’s what so many people read e-books from anyway.
