Same here ... for technical textbooks that I really need to focus on, dead tree is better. Esp if the content is math-y, scribbling notes, underlining etc seem to amplify learning.I bought a printer just for printing out such content so I can read and scribble away.
I wonder if this is something people of all age-groups universally feel, or do kids today have no problem grokking hardcore technical details from ebooks.

- abhgh 6y agoThat is a good suggestion, thanks, but usually I am very particular about printing specific pages: the part of me that doesn't like reading such texts on a device is typically at loggerheads with the part of me that doesn't like print paper ending up in recycle bins :-) ... its a very real struggle ... Anyone here with experience with Remarkable? Maybe thats the answer?
- hirako2000 6y agoremarkable v1 user here. The pdf/epub reading experience is not perfect, turning page is a bit distracting as the screen refreshes with all sort of artifact for nearly 1 second,but the can't beat the ink factor. And can annotate. I prefer it to the kindle to read because it's larger.
- abhgh 6y agoThank you for the helpful review!
- elric 6y agoYeah I don't mind reading "normal" books on my ereader, but for technical books and textbooks, I much prefer dead tree. Probably because it's a huge pain to browse and flip pages in ebooks.
