Remember ebook readers? I've found that my old Kindle Wifi is perfect for putting The Nautical Almanac on. Since the file is a PDF zoom in is necessary. The advantage of using the Kindle (old clunker I guess you could call it) is that cold boot up time is about 5 seconds. Just to "wake it up" takes about 2 seconds. Battery drain is extremely low. Using it for a few minutes per day the Kindle has enough power for several months of use. It'll do a good job- until the batteries are now longer available. Then we'll have to go back to...what?....paper and pencil? What's that?
