    I'm hoping for something cheap because reading ebooks is all I intend to do with it.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Kindles aren't colour though.

    The Kindle Fire is colour, and has a few more features over the original Kindle.

    As per this: "What tablet PC do you recommend for the sole purpose of reading ebooks?"

    The answer is quite clearly the Kindle, it is exactly what it is made for, and I agree with Jobeard.

    In reality, any tablet is capable of functioning as a e-reader.
