I'm considering looking for an ultrabudget tablet. I currently use my pocket pc to read .txt and .rtf ebooks, and my wife's laptop to read .pdf and .cbz/r* ebooks. I also use her laptop sometimes to watch .avi movies in bed. I'm looking for a supercheap tablet pc, used I'm sure, to fill this roll. The pocket pc works, but its kind of small, and a bigger screen would be great. Also, freeing up my wife's laptop would make her very happy.

I'd only need about 1 gig of hard drive space (at the minimum), but a wireless (or ethernet port if that's not possible) connection would be almost required. I've got a spare PCMCIA wireless card around. No need for an optical drive, as we take the laptop with us whenever we go anywhere where I'd want to read or watch a movie, and all the files could be stored there.

I'd like to spend less than $250 for this. Does anyone know if this is possible yet? If so, does anyone know a retailer I should look at? I assume this puts me in the realm of the used market.

Thanks!
