I find ebooks useful if the book is meant to be read from start to finish. I have yet to find ebooks useful for technical books, where I need to flip through chunks of pages and go back and forth between sections of chapters
as well as where I need to search by figure or equations rather than by text.
- celticninja 10y agoI find pdf's of technical books workable on an old ipad2 i keep around for this sort of thing. Not as easy as flipping to the right page of a book but i can take more books with me so that kind of outweighs the negative for me.
- z1mm32m4n 10y agoI'm considering getting an iPad Pro just for this purpose. With a 13" screen, you can fit an entire 8.5" x 11" page on the screen at 1:1 scaling. Alternatively, there are some really interesting 13" epaper tablets coming out soon that might fit the role more aptly.
- devmunchies 10y agoI'm the opposite. I only like ebooks for technical books because i can search for keywords.
