Hi from Magnus, a Sony PRS600 user
Hi all!

I'm a Swedish academic, who just bought a Sony Reader PRS600 to use primarily to read academic papers and articles. I bought this one because it gives me the possibilty to annotate the papers, something that might be important for my quite extensive reading of articles.

Anyone else out there using their device for reading academic articles? I would love to share experiences and ideas for managing reading notes....

Hi Magnus, welcome to MR!

I don't use my Kindle to read academic material. But just this semester I've started back to graduate school and I'd rather be toting an e-reader than my 10-pound statistics book!

Some others will probably be along shortly to give you a better answer.

Hi Magnus and welcome to MobileRead. Don't read academics on my Sony; strictly trashy detective novels but I expect there are plenty here who do.

Hi!

Well, one of the good things with devices like these is that you can pretend reading articles, while subtly shifting to the detective novel...

Good to have your company, Magnus. I don't think e-ink readers perform too well with accademic work that requires footnotes, glossary, references, charts or tables.The iPad handles them well in PDF form, but it's bulkier and backlit. There are way and means of getting the best out of books like those you must read, but I'm afraid I'll have to leave that to the advice of those many, many here more expert than I am. Best wishes. Neil
