Yes, but reading from paper is much nicer.
Of course, printing every little e-mail is nonsense; but I'd rather correct my thesis on paper than on screen, for instance.
- ShabbyDoo 17y agoIf you had a tablet with a Kindle-like screen upon which you could edit via gesture, would you prefer it over paper?
- JoachimSchipper 17y agoNot unless the input is at least as convenient as scribbling on paper. And I wouldn't be sure even then. I'm a mathematician: I do a lot of work on paper, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

- ibsulon 17y agoWith a kindle, how do you keep multiple pages in front of you at the same time? That's not to mention e-books as sources. Even if we figure out the virtual library issues (lest we bankrupt every grad student -- comprehensives in the social sciences can encompass 200 books!) we still have to look at workflow. Should the grad student have 4 kindles all synced, every e-book markable with programmable gestures both robust and simple enough to compete with paper?
