You can get a Kindle for 89 euro. Amazon, smartly, subsidises their products. The cheapest competitor is at least double that.

In the U.S. the cheapest Kobo is just under 100 USD: https://us.kobobooks.com/collections/ereaders. They go on sale somewhat regularly.

A subsidized Kindle + Library Genesis is a potent combination.
