Ask HN: How do you read ebooks?

Posted by dnqthao on Saturday March 19, 2016 @05:31AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I just want to find the best way to read ebooks (non-fiction, technical books). Are you using any ebook readers (e.g. Kindle) or using tablets, phones?

Kindle PaperWhite! Though reading a book has it's own charm, at this point of time the books that i want to read, paperwhite is just fine.

GoodReader for iPad, on an iPad Air 2. It has fast PDF rendering, intuitive but powerful features for highlighting and file management, and cost something like 10USD.

I'll buy a printer soon. I spend way too much time in front of screens.
