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?

    How do you get your documents on the device? Is there a syncing mechanism?

      There’s a companion app (Android and iOS) and a client software (Windows and Mac). They sync the reading progress as well as notes, so you can always take the version from your PC and print it with all your notes in place if needed.

      The software only works as a reader though, so you can’t edit anything there. If you do use it to read on, it syncs the current page you’re on back to the device though, so at least you can read continuously.
