There are Kindle e-Readers. These are primarily for books, magazines, and articles. You're able to download a lot of books. I chatted with the Amazon representative, Grace, who said that "Kindle e-Readers come with an experimental application called Web Browser. It supports JavaScript, SSL, and cookies, but does not support media plug-ins (Flash, Shockwave, etc.) or Java applets; websites that use these features may not display properly."
Then there is the more popular Kindle Fire. There are different versions. The prices listed below are the STARTING prices. If you search for any one of these devices on Amazon, you'll find them for a lot more because of all the different features. But you can still purchase these devices at the prices below with just the basic features. See what you can find at eBay.
Kindle Fire HD for $139 4.5 Stars.
Kindle Fire HD, 8.9 for $229 4 Stars.
Kindle Fire HDX 7" for $229 4.5 Stars.
Kindle Fire HDX, 8.9 for $379 4.5 Stars.
Scroll to the bottom of this link to compare the features of each. It's a good comparison. The 8.9 refers to the screen size. Whereas the 1st generation Kindle Fire was 6". The HD and the HDX are each 7". But if you're going to be making mobile presentations, then going for the 8.9 will really impress. Now, which of the two 8.9's do you choose? The price difference is $150. The HDX 8.9 is the right size, right screen size, and perfect weight. But if all you can afford is the HDX, then you'll have to endure the slightly larger device size and weight.
If you're worried about price and you already have an older version of Kindle, you can trade your older version in for an upgrade. You can do so by going to these two Amazon pages here and here.
This Amazon page shows what you can get for your Kindle trade-in. It's all based on condition. Amazon has 3 conditions: Like New, Good, Acceptable. I was told that I can get $35 for my 1st Generation, Kindle 6. Not bad. The way that the trade-in at Amazon works is this. They actually offer trade-ins on lots of products. When you submit your product, in my case my Kindle 6, they promise to expunge all the data on the device and then send me after 14 days a $35 Amazon Gift Card. Once I have that card, I can spend that $35 on anything for sale at Amazon. But I cannot spend that $35 retroactively on a new Kindle that I buy today. I have to spend that card on something else or wait 14 days for that card to arrive and THEN purchase a new Kindle. I don't like that arrangement.
