Cheap tablets today

Can we get something for say a hundred bucks, for this usage:

Put a button on the screen that launches the browser and goes directly to a website?

I know I can do it on a PC for example.

This is for an 89 year old with no computer experience to be able to read our travel blog. Nothing else is contemplated. No email, chat, browsing, nothing. There is wifi in the senior complex where she lives.

$150 or $200 is fine, if that is what it takes.

    Simple answer is yes it can be done. Just set the homepage on the browser to your website and add the browser shortcut to the desktop. Along with the browser set up you will need internet connection. Most tablets do not have ethernet ports so wifi will have to be available at her location. Another option would be a tablet through a cellular provider with a data plan if there is available connectivity at her location.

    Most tablets would meet that need. Another factor to consider is screen size and resolution for reading.
