I jailbreaked an older Kindle, installed Ko Reader, put it in airplane mode, and yoho'd a lot of books on it. I think that 7th gen Kindles can still be jailbroken but you'd really have to do some research to make sure.

I really like my Kindle Oasis. Picked it up eBay, looks like a lot of them are over $100, but you can check a few times and sort by price. Try doing some bidding or making an offer. Might take a little bit to find one, but it's a good one. 6 or 7 inch screen, really consistent backlighting, and you can message support and they'll just remove ads for you.
If you're not wedded to an e-ink display, I bought a cheap android tablet for about $50, and set it to auto run an e-reader app called Moon+ Reader. You'll have to fork over a couple bucks for the ad free version, but it's a solid piece of software.
Can probably pirate the ad-free version of Moon+ Reader, even.
Another one I've seen out there that seems decent is PocketBook, but I've never bought one. You might be able to find a used one for $100.
