			5" seems to be the smallest common screen size. Tracfone (and their subsidiary brands Straight Talk, Simple Mobile, Total Wireless, Net10 Wireless) has several 5" phones for $25-40 right now. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Tracfone TCL A1 4G LTE Prepaid Cell Phone $25 Tracfone ZTE Blade T2 Lite 4G LTE Prepaid Cell Phone $30 Tracfone LG Rebel 4 4G LTE Prepaid Cell Phone $30 Total Wireless Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit 4G LTE Prepaid Cell Phone $40 All run Android 8. I'd watch for sales or codes. Of course, if you really want a tiny screen, the revived Palm has a 3.3" screen. It also runs Android 8.1. It's pricey, though.  |

			Thanks for all the research!    
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I had already checked out the Palm, but it doesn't have a micro-SD slot, and since I want to load it up with music and books, the lack of some sort of expansion memory slot is kind of a deal-breaker for me. Music and books are the two things I loved my old Samsung Galaxy Players for, and I have a lot of books and music that need to live on an SD card  .  Sigh - otherwise it seems as if it would be great, and refurb/renewed ones aren't too horribly expensive.  I'm also a little chary of ZTE, given their dicey technology export shenanigans, but I'll check out the other two. The Samsung sounds promising - I seem to live in the Samsung universe a lot, and am currently using my husband's old S3 as a placeholder, but it's old and slow, and its Android is so old that a lot of stuff gets messed up on it. I was also thinking about the BLU Advance A4 with a 4" screen, $40 at Amazon, but it doesn't get great reviews. And it's only Android 6. Decisions, decisions... Thanks again! Quote:

			When my last cheap mp3 player died, I got one of these to use as my mp3/reader player. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...s%2C176&sr=8-5 It has a replaceble battery, which I replace every year. Like you, I put everything on a sd card so that I have plenty of storage for my ever growing pile of books. I won't get a phone that is less than 5 inches, it's just to hard to read on anything smaller. I would look for a cheap Samsung and call it a day. Stay away from Blu products, I bought one of their phones and after a year it died!  |

			The main difference is the current model has frontlight color temperature adjustability. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	There is one other significant difference, but I can't think of it offhand. (maybe ability to turn of auto-hibernate.)  |

			So it's refurbished, "on sale" at the same price as the current nook GlowLight Plus, but with a smaller screen and no color temperature adjustments? Such a deal!

			Since I’ve been wanting to try a 7 or 8 inch screen but wasn’t interested in paying $250 to just “try” I decided to take a chance on the 8 gig for $119.  My first woot purchase so I’m a bit nervous about the purchase.  Fingers crossed.

			The Echo Dot is currently on sale for $29.99.  With a trade-in, it would knock the price down to $17.50 which strikes me as a very good value indeed.  I’m happy enough with my Gen 3 Dots, but if I had a Gen 2 hanging around, I’d go for it.
