> ...it's way nicer than hauling around a stack of journals. I use Papers for this.... I also like Papers on the iPad. My reading mode for academic papers, using the dedicated app on the iPad, is different than on my laptop (or the laptop tethered to the big monitor). I'm better able to deeply read on the iPad because it's dedicated to that one task. I probably spend about equal clock-time reading papers on both platforms -- on the laptop I read 2 pages from each of 20 papers, and on the iPad I read 15 pages from each of 4 papers. But I have to note: I don't create content there, I consume it.
