I'm looking for a tablet to read textbooks on. After reading through the forums a bit, I've taken others' advice on not going with an eink reader (though the sony digital paper looks awful neat, if a bit expensive) and am now considering the surface 3. My one question is: is it big enough to view one page of a typical double-column textbook without having to pan around or repeatedly zoom in and out? And if it isn't, is the surface 3 pro big enough?
