Is there anything cheaper? Some little known brand which hardly anyone uses?
I realise this is a difficult question. Thanks lots for any suggestions.

How about a Kindle Keyboard 3? Good ones seem to go for £20-£30 on eBay. It can handle KFX format from Amazon, and with a 3G model you don't even need to have Wi-Fi.
The screen is only a 150dpi pearl screen with no frontlight, but it's still plenty good enough for use in normal lighting.
