Thanks Downeaster59. I really like the Sony e-ink tablet, the new 13.3, but it's only limited to PDF plus it's geared more towards a niche market, if I ever want to sell it it might be really difficult. A Surface or Ipad on the other hand is almost risk free financially, since if for whatever reason I'm not satisfied I can always sell it and recover my expense. On the other hand I never suffered from eye strain, I work many hours in front of a LED monitor without issues.
Which of the two would you say has a better display (contrast, brightness, etc) for reading, the Surface Pro or the Ipad Pro? Thanks again. |
I know our resident academic here uses the 9.7 IPad.
If you are concerned about your investment, that is the one I would go for. Anything bigger doesn't have as big of a market. 9.7 is a good size for technical books.
