I do criminology, so most all of my research is gathering scholarly articles of past studies for lit reviews and the rest is collecting my own data. Of course I do online searches to find articles. I then print them out and read them and mark them up and keep them around for easy flipping through.

And I'm younger that you it seems, as I'm 30, so it's not an age thing. I just like doing work that way. Computers for searching, analyzing data and writing. But I like printouts of past studies to read and mark up. It's quicker and easier and more natural to me.

As for cost, if my university bought me a reader like that great. They won't and they pay for all my paper and printing needs. And I'm sorry I'm just not a tree hugger to the extent that I'm going to worry about paper printouts that I generally keep around permanently and recycle when I don't.

You can fellate your iRex all you want, I'll stick with my print outs. To each their own. Quit being so pushy and defensive of the tech things you love. They're not for everyone or for every purpose for everyone.

Geez. You can't discuss any kind of gadget on the net as they all have their fanboys that jump all over people who don't think they're the best thing since sliced bread.

Oh well, I decided on my reader, and learned how to get free books so I have little further use for this site. So peace.
