Of course I appreciate that the thread is primarily talking about new machines, but I was just pointing out that entry into the eBook reading world need not necessarily cost a fortune; cheap "obsolete" 2nd-hand hand-held devices can make excellent and very low-cost book readers.
The problem is, when you take 2nd hand stuff into account, then it's impossible to set a correct price tag. Because an "Ebook reader" could then range from -100 to 1000 dollars...
