I asked what, if any, e-books he already had. But you may still be right.

if you don't need a reader with a built in light, then the basic kindle is cheaper than the paperwhite, and so is another possible starting point.
Egads! No front light and a lower resolution screen. I'd avoid the basic Kindle.

Also, I recommend checking out the prices of all the amazon range. it is no longer the case that tablets cost more than e-ink - the cheapest fire tablet is much cheaper than the kindle paperwhite ,and the e-ink kindle oasis is I think more expensive than any current range fire tablet.
Yeah, but they aren't e-ink. Otherwise a tablet would be the ideal solution to his dilemma. And at that point, I'd buy a non-Amazon tablet.
