If I found a second-hand model, say a year or two old, would that still
be good?

Interesting. Perhaps I'll load a magazine PDF on a memory stick and try
it out in Bic. When trying to read a PDF on the iphone (320x480) I felt
if it was twice as big (i.e. 480x640, but also physically bigger too) it
would have been okay.
