I'm looking for recommendations for e-readers. Ideally these recommendations would come in the form of "I have used <the following e-readers> and <this> is the one I like best for <these reasons>" ;-)
Nice to have features: - be able to read websites (i.e. surf the web) - be able to mirror a screen from my desktop (or act as another monitor) - be able to take notes
Get a decent tablet. I used to use a Kobo reader and find a tablet is much superior. In addition to reading books, a tablet does so much more, including browsing a web site. You can also get remote desktop apps for them. And so much more...
The only advantages of an e-reader, such as the Kobo, are battery life and using in bright sunlight.
Interesting - - - you forgot to mention a huge negative on most tablets - - - no real keyboard with the system. That to me is enough to preclude me from even considering a tablet. Regards
