I just use a Kindle 3 in airplane mode. Closest it's ever come to failing me was the battery going kaput and even then it's easily replaceable. These things last forever, and you can get then for like 25-30 dollars! Just load books on from you computer and enjoy yer reading. Recommend it for sure. Just make sure you pretend it has no internet functionality. (I've looked far and wide and I just cannot find something with the same level of analog functionality as the kindle 3. The physical keyboard is wonderful, and no touch screen is great imo)
