Look into jailbroken e-readers. Not as much freedom with the hardware, potentially driver issues for peripherals, but cheap.

Hey, that's my thread! In case anyone's wondering, I ended up with a $25 Nook Simple Touch. If you just want the screen and no touch capability, then look through the rest of the thread. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to play with it much yet, but I can tell you the rooting process works very smoothly for the NST.
