I am thinking the OP meant a cheap ereader not the cheapest ereader. There are no cheap ereaders.
Now my two cents, the kindles are on sale this week.
I would say if the kids will use them, get new ones.
Also, how many kids and will they have their own or share one?

Do you know ereaders are muuuuuch more fragile than tablets?

I don't think eink readers with no plastic substrate in their screens are a good tool for kids

If you look right now, Woot has another sale going on refurbished ereaders and tablets. Go to WOOT.COM and click on COMPUTERS. Scroll down to TABLETS. 7th gen Kindle for $25. I bought 2 of those and they are great! There is also a 4th gen Kindle ($20) and I had one of those until I traded it in for a Voyage. They work fab as well. Also, Kindle Touch is there!

And Amazon still has their refurbished Kindles on sale. $40 for the newest 8th generation Kindle Basic (either black or white). $80 for the Paperwhite 3 (either black or white) and $120 for the Voyage. These refurbished Kindles have the full year warranty and, as far as I can tell, are (for all practical purposes) new. (Double check on the one year warranty – thought I read it but can't find it right now.)

I picked up a Kindle Keyboard for $15 (plus $5 shipping) when the still had them in the Woot sale.

Are the kids teenagers or little kids? The fragility of eink screens should be a factor in your decision, if they're small or not careful. You may be far better off with a cheap low-end tablet with parental lockdown features.

I recently bought the refurbished Kindle Basic Generation 8 while on sale for $39.99 and it was in new condition without a scratch on it. I suspect that a customer did not like the no screen lighting because it seems to be in perfect condition. Reading reviews I note that too many do not read the description and downgrade the basic unit for not having a illuminated screen. IMO the buyers need to learn to read. For kids the non-illuminated screen makes sense as when they are sent to bed you want them to sleep!
