I'm reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can't draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can't search and the physical paper pile up quickly.

Is an e-reader a good choice for me? Or should I get a tablet instead?

I’m currently in grad school and am reading a ton of PDFs. My iPad and Apple Pencil paired with the app LiquidText has been AMAZING! I actually subscribed to their pro plan so that my papers and annotations would sync between my devices.

I can’t stress enough how much use I get out of the combo and how productive it allows me to me reading, highlighting, and taking notes.

LiquidText is cool af but I hated the UI. Maybe it's become better in the last few months.

I actually have some complaints too but I overlook them! And the customer service was super responsive when I needed them.
