I’m reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can’t draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can’t search and the physical paper pile up quickly.
Is an e-reader a good choice for me? Or should I get a tablet instead?
Can confirm, am using the remarkable tablet to read a lot of academic papers. The only thing to keep in mind though is that the best experience is that apparently you need good enough vision to be able to read the article without zooming, some people I know struggled with this. However with normal sight, I basically only zoom to note something in the article if there is not enough space to note it down otherwise.
Yep exactly. I hardly ever need to zoom, unless maybe to read some very small tables or annotations.
When I was in grad school we got a lot of potato quality third generation photocopy PDFs. I used an iPad but this was also back when the iPad was basically the only viable tablet option.
