I’m reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can’t draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can’t search and the physical paper pile up quickly.

Is an e-reader a good choice for me? Or should I get a tablet instead?

I haven’t read any comics on it, but it should be fine. I do read the news on it using Google News. It handles websites better than expected.
