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?
I can vouch for the iPad + Apple Pencil + GoodNotes combo. I‘m using this multiple hours a day for university. The iPad also would be the most versatile device for watching a movie, playing a game etc.
You can also get other tablets but in my experience the writing experience isn’t as good as the iPad.
If you want to do mostly reading, an e-ink display will be nicer on the eyes, but you loose general functionality.
