The ipad pro. It’s just my favorite device, and has been for the last 2-3 years. I draw and take a lot of notes on it, I read a lot of pdfs and epubs, I watch movies and videos, etc. I like that it allows me to focus, as the os is limiting, and I like that it’s so portable that I can easily take it with me anywhere. I can also hold it well when I’m in bed, in the plane, etc.
- madhadron 5y agoSeconded. I got one of these and was surprised at how much I love it. The input latency is unnoticeable. I intentionally don't connect my email, calendar, or anything interruptible to it and it is a wonderful notepad, reader, etc.
- satysin 5y agoNot connecting email, calendar, social media, or anything else that produces notifications is the best thing I ever did with a tablet. Email, social media, etc. is a productivity black hole due to notifications. At first I tried disabling notifications but it isn't enough. I had to remove the accounts as I just can't be trusted to not check manually. I used to hate my iPad because I never got anything done on it but since removing all that crap it is a fantastic device for when you want to focus on one task and not be distracted.
- reacharavindh 5y agoDo you know of a way to take notes _on_ a ePub book? I’d love to buy a new iPad just for this if there was a way to do it. As far as I have tried, Apple Books, or Kindle don’t allow markup on ePub books.
- truth_ 5y agoI use Lithium in Android. Has this feature.
- ja27 5y agoI mostly use Apple Books (formerly iBooks) for this. Can highlight, add text notes, and bookmark pages. Syncs those and reading progress across devices. Also somewhat works for PDF books. Sometimes the sync screws up but mostly works. Google Books can also do this and notes go to an associated Google Doc.
