Most are closer to 4in but they are much cheaper. Say $40-90.

One quickie example:

The screen is only 800x480 but it's 4in and color.
As an everywhere ereader it'll be fine. Think back to the PDA era that ran sub VGA resolutions but were perfectly readable as long as you didn't try to read fixed format PDF.

There are others with better screens at increasingly higher prices, of course.
You can get prepaid Android smartphones for $40ish with much better display and faster performance.

For example, I got a Tracfone deal on HSN last year: $40 Moto E5 including 1 year service (1500 minutes, 1500 texts, 1.5GB data).
