vassiliki · 02-25-2020, 04:22 AM

Hello everyone!

I am a PhD student and I need to avoid printing so many articles, because it's simply not good for the environment and I have so much paper everywhere.

I need an e-reader (not a tablet, e-ink, no backlighting) where I can underline texts and make annotations and sync notes in another file on my computer (Mac), so maybe something with a keyboard, or touch screen with a pen. Screen size must be comfortable enough to read articles (mostly pdfs) without scrolling left and right. Internet connection preferably but not necessary. Storage space doesn't need to be huge, as I can save the articles on my computer and just bring the e-reader with me when I travel. Budget is 400-500€ I'd say, but generally not the biggest issue.

So, just to sum up:

Must:

E-ink
possibility to highlight and take notes and sync annotations on a Mac
screen large enough to view PDF

Preferences:

Internet connection

Thank you everyone! I tried and browse on the internet but I only found information from several years ago and I guess (and hope) situation is different now. Never used an e-reader before, so I can't really suggest a model that I like to make comparisons.

Thank you again
