Is it enough?). Not to mention your reader could be a convenient place to keep your pattern while knitting.

Something to think about while you decide. And if you get an IQ or something else with Internet access, you can email yourself notes about yarn or patterns you some across in your travels.
i am a knitter, and have been thinking about that feature a lot. in fact, the reason i have gotten into audio books so much was that i was torn between knitting and reading - and alas, audiobooks came to the rescue. for someone who didn't really believe this was "real" reading a few short years ago, i have surely come a long way - and now about 1/3 of my "reading" is via audiobooks.

as i have gathered more and more info what i have decided is that e-reading screen and audiobook functionality are my top concerns, PDF and wifi next, and color and 3g at the bottom of the heap now... so still searching.

thanks for the info, much appreciated.
