A REALLY inexpensive ebook reader!
If all you want is an ebook reader and don't need all the bells and whistles of a Kindle Fire or an iPad or B&N's Nook tablet, check out the Literati by Sharper Image. It's no longer made, since the Sharper Image company went out of business. However, it's easily obtainable on sites such as amazon.com and ebay.com.
The unit has access to several dozen free books, available through kobo.com, with more added periodically. And because there's no attempt being made at anything proprietary, as is the case with the exclusivity of the Nook and the Kindle, one can pick up ebooks most anywhere and be able to load them onto the Literati. It is a wireless unit as well.
I've been using one of these for quite some time and have not been disappointed!
