Hi, I'm looking for basically an e-reader while also be able to surf the internet on and off. But mostly, it will be for reading books
I am looking at these 2 tablets right now
$53 http://zzkko.com/q88-7-inch-android-4-0-tablet-pc-allwinner-…
$79.99 http://zzkko.com/ainol-novo7-legend-7-inch-a13-chip-android-…
Please help me out. my budget is between 50 to 80 dollars. Or if you could recommend an actual e-reader, please link me up.
thanks
At this resolution, text will be uncomfortable for reading, and you will likely get frustrated with the device — the resolutions are both lower than most phones!
I would recommend extending your budget to $90 - that will get you a 1024x600 resolution display.

or if you feel more comfortable buying through ebay:

hi there, the ainol novo 7 mars is on sale for 79.99, is it the same one as in ebay? http://zzkko.com/ainol-novo7-mars.html
Thats the one.
If reading eBooks is your primary concern, then I think you ought to just buy a dedicated eReader, like a Kindle or Nook. The crappy resolution and LCD display aren't really conducive to a good reading experience, with the Chinese tablets.
After a quick look at the Dick Smith prices it would appear to me that we're getting a bit ripped off, so if you do go the Kindle route, perhaps investigate buying it directly from Amazon. There's also the new Kindle Paperwhite for $139 (Non 3G, no ads), which has integrated lighting, if that's what you're after.
Edit: sorry, missed your budget on my first read through. If you can extend your budget, I would recommend the Paperwhite, but the base Kindle is $69 ($89 no ads) on Amazon. It doesn't have 3G, but I'm of the opinion that the build quality is far superior to any China tablet, and that the Kindle would probably last longer (but that's just me).
Ainol.
