They always have Nooks of various models, usually have Sony and Kobo models, etc. They often have "off brand" models, but you have to be there at the right time.
They are sold without any guaranties and there are no returns, so there is a bit of risk, but I've bought several and never had a major problem. I think most auctions are for US customers.

They do, also, have a tablet section that might be worth checking out. But if you were looking for a tablet, say 7" or smaller, I might check Amazon or Newegg.

wow. starting at 9.99 for a score of ereaders that may or may not work.

pretty sure there's quite a few working units in the lot. anyone adventurous enough to re-purpose some of these?
by the way. thanks for the info about these goodwill auctions. i actually bid on a sony prs-350 and won at $7.00. with shipping, it came out to be under $15.00. if it works out, i think i'll be carrying this around along with my phone everywhere i go. may need to replace the battery, but i've done that for a prs-500 before and it wasn't hard to do. and the battery is still available on ebay.
