Recommended reader for articles?

ptrbman · 08-30-2013, 07:34 AM

Hi!

I'm interested in buying a reader/tablet, however my main usage will not be reading books, but reading scientific articles (PDF).

I would prefer to have some device using E Ink or similar (with better battery time and contrast), however I am not sure they can handle an A4-sized PDF article in a satisfactory way. Maybe in the end it's better to get a table, i.e. iPad to make sure it is always readable in a good way.

Does someone have experience of this? It would really save a lot of effort avoiding printing out every article. The price is of course relevant but is not the highest priority, I'd rather pay a bit extra to get something that is actually good.

Any recommendations and advice is appreciated!

Ah, my bad! I read through that thread, and figured it was just about tablets (i.e. not readers), but now I do see that the original post mention readers, but most people are just suggestions tablets =)

Someone, feel free to lock/erase this thread since it fills no purpose!
