I travel a lot around the world, so I digitalized my entire library, University notes, everything...
I used a Fujitsu ScanSnap(amazing scanner with automatic feeder) to digitalized them using a Wood saw to cut the back of the books. I stored them in boxes in a locker room.
I love it because I control it. I could analyze my documents, I could index them, I could organize them as I want. I could mark them too on my tablet.
Much better than paper.
But most people can't do it(each of my kids going with a USD400 device to school sounds ridiculous to me). A tablet is expensive just for reading, and more expensive if you are going to add an active pen, like I use.
What is quite shocking is that the device I use the most for reading is a new 55 inches LG OLED screen, rotated 90 degrees. I use software that converts black over white "paper" to green on black.
Einks are slow, very bad resolution, monocrome(exchanging resolutions for tones using halftoning), and very small screen.
If only Qualcomm Mirasol or other technologies were cheaper it will be totally different. Not ready yet for the mass market.

Is that because you prefer to focus at a longer distance? > I love it because I control it. I could analyze my documents, I could index them, I could organize them as I want.

- hobbes78 12y agoThe last ebook reader from Amazon (Kindle Voyage) features 300 dpi, so it's on par with inkjet standard resolution... But the other problems remain...
