Dead Tree™ - It's foldable, portable, you can take notes on it, you can burn it to start a fire, or recycle it. It's cheap, available virtually everywhere. Doesn't take batteries and generally isn't as prone to causing eyestrain.
Some notes on using Dead Tree™. Depending on the font size, I print 2-4 pages per side. Be choosy on what to print, for lots of publications you can skip irrelevant chapters.
Finally, the A series of Dead Tree™ is much superior to the standard US letter size.
- wjnc 6y agoI imagine you have a parallel system for retaining notes? Or a truly old school system (personal library?) for filing Dead Trees?

- GregNGM 6y agoWhen printing 2(4,8,etc)-up, everything Just Fits, because of the 1:sqrt(2) edge length ratio. Similarly, A3 is suitable for making A4 size booklets, and many big photocopiers can do this automatically. Also, because an A0 sheet is defined as having an area of 1 square metre, and paper weight is in grams per square meter, you can easily calculate the weight of any number of any A-size sheet.
