Hi everyone,

I hope you folks can help me with a particular need of mine.

I'm a knitter. I sometimes knit on the train, sometimes at home, sometimes with friends, so I need a good way to take patterns with me, because sometimes they can get quite complex. Patterns usually come as PDFs, or the occasional blog post that I print to a PDF.

I've been using a Kindle Voyage to read regular books on, and to store and display my knitting patterns, but I've come across a problem: the bloody screensaver.

Here I am, 42 stitches into a row, when the thing decides to stop displaying the book and goes to the screensaver instead. Now I have to drop everything, hope I don't lose track of where I was, and turn the thing back on. Ugh.

I know about the screensaver disabling hack, but that's just awkward and eats my battery.

So, having discovered this here website, I thought I'd turn to you guys to find the right thing for my needs.

I know there are readers that run android, so I'd prefer that. The reason is so I can also use knitting companion apps that have things like row counters, places to add notes, etc.

I buy my books mostly on Amazon, so good performance with those is also important. I still want to read!

As for screen size, something on the smaller side is probably better.

I don't think whispersync compatibility would be possible though, would it?

If it helps, I'm located in NYC.

Thank you so much for your help!
