I don’t, but I’m an outlier. Why lots of people do: for prose projects, seeing a printed out version of the thing is superior for proofreading, editing, etc.

I don’t, but I’m an outlier.
Why lots of people do: for prose projects, seeing a printed out version of the thing is superior for proofreading, editing, etc. The context switch helps break you out of your “this is text I wrote so I can’t see the errors in it” rut.
Also, reading long documents is still easier on paper than on screens——the screen alternatives all still kinda suck. iPad and the like have glare, hard to read outside, etc. remarkable and kindle and other e-ink devices are just filthy with compromises, like, kindle screens are all too small when most documents come formatted in letter size pdf, remarkable has no backlight and in addition the remarkable 1 at least is agonizingly slow and the software is utter shite.
I put up with the iPad/remarkable mess personally because (a) I refuse to own a printer at home, since the damned things never work right, (b) I also hate clutter and already have too much paper generated by others sitting around in piles, (3) pdfs and such are much easier to travel with
