I have a reMarkable [1]https://remarkable.com/ which is great for PDFs, writing notes, etc. and it will also read. It’s quite nice. I generally use it instead of paper for notes. You can even transfer web pages to it (from a Chrome plug-in) to read them in more comfort.
The OP I think would be best served by a tablet (the iPad is great for the needs listed). I've been thinking of getting a reMarkable 2, which has the ability to be a reader for PDF and epub as a side-benefit, for use primarily as a note-taking device. I type much faster than I write, but there is psychological research that shows people learn and retain information better when taking it down by hand, and anyway I'm old enough to prefer taking notes, making lists, sketching on the page, etc. by hand. That's what the reMarkable excels at, and why it is such a success in its niche. If you don't fit that restrictive set of requirements, then it looks like a weirdly expensive limited toy. If you do fit it, it's exactly what you need. I *do* use my iPad for these things, to some extent. But the reMarkable does a, well, remarkable job at simulating paper and the exact experience. -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
