In the UK the basic kindle is £60-£70 depending on whether it has adverts.
He rarely uses his PC and doesn't have a tablet or a smart phone, so the app wouldn't be appropriate. Years ago, he somehow managed to put The Castle of Oltranto onto a Gameboy SP using an emulator. That was my first encounter with e-reading!
I'm in the UK, so postage from Goodwill would probably cost more than the device.
I've read threads on MR in the past which said buying a second hand ereader is not a good idea. It might be registered (stolen) or have a very run down battery.
So I was wondering if there was a little known brand which was very cheap (around £30ish) so that I could get a new one?
