For someone who never had e-reader: how good are they to read PDFs with code? Most of my "books" are just PDFs and I've read e-readers were bad for them some time ago. Is it better now?
- darklajid 11y agoI'm on a paperwhite (the newest, I think?). Honestly, I think it works quite well. Code is fine. Graphics / Illustrations might be bad at times, depending on the formatting job. But then .. you know .. if you want an ebook reader, I'd consider this ~300 bucks one too expensive.
- coreyoconnor 11y agoStill bad IMO. I do not recommend using an e-reader for PDFs. I use a Kindle DX on a rare occasion. A tablet computer with pen provides the best experience IMO. I've used a iPad and an Android tablet before. Both have excellent PDF reading software. I recommend Bookari on Android. The Microsoft Surface, however, beats everything else I've tried.
- dcre 11y agoNot great -- the screen is too small, though the high DPI helps a bit. IMO the iPad is the only way to go for technical PDFs. The iPad Air 2 is a magnificent device.
