You can also use tablet and e-ink reader simultaneously for the tasks that are not available on e-ink or are just not quick or easy enough to accomplish thereon e.g. you can just read pdf on e-ink screen while using tablet for handwriting, annotation, color recognition, quicker page flipping, quicker cross referencing, quicker txt search, better dictionaries, txt to speech, audio recording etc.

Tablets and e-ink readers are getting lighter and smaller each day, so simultaneous usage should not pose a big problem anymore, just affix e-ink or tablet on another device leather cover and you can hold both in one hand, resting it partially on the body if/when necessary.

Hi markom!

Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know that such a tool existed!
I tried it out and it works perfectly, I just have one question though:
I see that the output pdf weights much more than the original (3.31 mb to 441 kb for a 10 pages article). If I were to convert a whole book, wouldn't it slow down the reading experience as the device has to handle a huge pdf?

Thanks again :-)
