Hello everyone,

I am looking for a simple device to be able to play audiobooks in the bedroom without the phone. For years I used a basic Xoro player, but now it is so old that it is way too slow and it stutters and hangs and even crashes a lot, so I retired it and use the phone for now, but I really want to ban the phone from the bedroom. Most options I found so far were ridiculously expensive overkill. A fire stick is cheap but requires a TV.
So I am looking for something that:
 - can run Kodi (and evtl Spotify) stable and without stutter
 - has a screen to access and select the content, but which can be switched off, so it plays audio but is dark.
 - a power-off-timer would be nice
 - media keys (play/pause and volume) would be nice but are not essential
 - power can be wired, since it will be stationary
 - not too expensive

Anyone with experiences and/or suggestions?

Thanks,
vonson
