Just to add to this, pick up an Amazon Kindle. There's almost no-where you can't read when your entire library fits in a pocket or a rucksack. I've been travelling for most of this year and my kindle comes second to only my laptop on the list of essentials.
- tedmiston 10y agoI actually haven't bought one yet because I was under the impression code rendering was still less than ideal (e.g., lines wrapping to fit the Kindle screen where they shouldn't in code). Is that still an issue?
- hoodwink 10y agoYes, this is an issue on the Kindle device, but reading textbooks in the Kindle app on the iPad is gamechanging. The speed with which you make highlights, leave notes, and bookmark is great for learning. I can then access the book from my computer for quick reference and/or convert my booknotes to Anki flashcards. This being said, I also own a Kindle Paperwhite and use it at least an hour a day for reading non-technical books. I can't recommend that device enough.
- abustamam 10y agoWould you recommend people who already own a tablet (iPad, Galaxy, Fire, etc) to get a dedicated device to reading?
- bawigga 10y agoI have both a tablet and a kindle paperwhite. I like using the tablet for technical references which are commonly in PDF format. For everything else I use the Paperwhite. The backlight is much easier on the eyes, especially when reading in bed.
