reading game PDFs

[yhlee]

I was wondering what folks would recommend as a solution for reading tabletop RPG and other PDFs? I used to do this on a Kindle DX, but sometimes the graphics-heavy ones would cause it go slow, and then my DX broke, and I don't think they make new ones anymore so I don't trust them? I have a Kindle Paperwhite, but the screen size is a no-go because they typically make some full-sized (8.5"x11" or thereabouts). And ideally I'd like to be able to just load them from my desktop using a USB cable. I have an older iPad, but it doesn't have the USB thing and it's no good to me because my husband and daughter steal it to play games. XD Help?

I'm using the 10" Kindle fire. Not ideal, but better than nothing. I also have a Kindle DX, but the Fire holds more stuff, so I've been using it less.

I've been using an slightly older Android 8" tablet with an eBook reader on it. (Specifically, a Samsung GT-5110 "Note 8" that used to run stock firmware but has been reflashed for LineageOS) It's still new enough that performance is reasonable, but it's not the $600+ that something brand new would run. the downside for this tablet is two fold: a) the screen, while bright and crisp, is a real battery hog at full brightness; and b) the battery life on the poor thing was 'not good' even when it was new, and running it off an external battery pack is... not very productive.
