I have a 10 inch simple mode, no wifi or touch screen, pictures fed by sd card sneaker net.
Device was around $70 on Amazon recently.
Can share the specific model tomorrow if people are interested.
Actually support three picture frames, one at each grandma house too.
Update photos onto 4gb sd cards twice per year.
Works great for a random screen saver like show. All can see the transition of our cute kid into a gangly tween.

This is a possible idea too... but I'm really looking for a product that my wife and other family members will operate... and they're not techy geeks like me. Which is partly why I'd like a touch screen, since the wife expressed frustration with the current crappy one we have which you can't look back easily at a picture which just passed.
I do have a dead nexus tablet which probably just needs a new battery... but again I don't want to have to write anything for it. Not my interest...
But thanks for the ideas!

"Nix Advance 8-Inch Digital Photo Frame" doesn't have Wifi, and uses a remote. So I like that it's not cloud based... but for remote family members it won't work as well. And probably a bit small.
