e-ink vs "regular" tablet
Hi all
I am a long time kindle user, which serves me well for ebooks
However, when I want to read pdf documents (mostly technical papers and books) I end up printing them as I can't stand reading them on my laptop or large computer screen (I want to hold them in my hand, which would hopefully be possible with a light weight e-reader)
AFAIK, currently the 13.3" e-ink devices to read full size pdf documents are the onyx max lumi, fujitsu quaderno A4, and perhaps quirklogic's papyr (I understand its pdf file size is currently limited)
1. since its screen size is 13.3", isn't an A4 pdf going to be scaled down (smaller)? has anyone had experience reading technical text (e.g. equations) on these displays (or the lumi's predecessor the max 3)
2. these products are priced between 700$ to almost 900$. Sumsung's powerfull Tab S7+ is selling now for about 750$. naturally this is a much more powerful device, albeit with a slightly smaller display (12.4" instead of 13.3") and of course an amoled display instead of an e-ink display
I would love to hear the forum's thought and recommendations
