Cheap tablet input device

There has been some discussion recently on getting Wacom tablets working in Puppy:

However, Wacom tablets are very expensive, at least here in Australia.

There are much cheaper brands, and these sites explain how to get many of them working with Linux:

Here in Australia I can buy these, very cheap:

...probably the 6x4.5inch is too small? 8x6inch a good size? -- latter costs $91.20 +postage.

According to this guy, the XP-Pen works with the wizardpen X driver (same as the Genius brand):
