$50 ebook reader?

[TBOL3]

Ok, this is driving me insane!!!

I really want an ebook reader, that way I can read ebooks while on the bus, and not be forced to sit on my computer. All I want, is something that can read .txt and .pdf files. I don't need any built in 3g, or lots of hard drive space, etc.

All I want is a big screen, with enough hard drive space to store some files, and enough battery life to last a few hours. That doesn't sound like it would cost too much. I don't even need a good screen, something like that of the ti-89's screen would be fine.

But no, every ebook reader has all of the superfluous things that I don't need! Do any of you know where I can get an ebook reader that is cheep?

Thank you.
