If you want to try a Kindle e-reader without breaking the bank, under “Computers” at the Woot daily deals they have older refurbished Kindle Paperwhite models ranging from $19 to $30 with a 90-day Woot warranty. The lower prices are the original model, while the higher prices are 2013 (2nd generation) Paperwhite models. The most expensive one even has the AT&T 3G model (with free data for the express purpose of downloading Kindle ebooks and doing Kindle-related housekeeping). The latest model is the 4th generation Paperwhite [see Wikipedia]. If you are reading text-only ebooks and you don’t plan to download thousands of ebooks on it at the same time, you should be okay with the older models. On the other hand, manga/comics and complex documents may be too challenging for them [I was using the 2nd generation up until 3 years ago, then sideways-up upgraded to the Voyage for the physical page-turning buttons].
