e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper

clehaxze@reddthat.com to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 87 points –

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'm a big fan of eink screens. They don't cause the eyestrain that LED displays do. I have the Onyx Boox Nova which I really enjoy. It has the Play Store on it, so I can install any Android app. It also has pen support for annotating.

How it's this device for comics?

I haven't read any comics on it, but it should be fine. I do read the news on it using Google News. It handles websites better than expected.
