Ask HN: A large tablet for PDFs?
Black Friday is coming up (here in the US). I have a large and growing collection of papers (and some books), and I'd like to be able carry them around with me. I don't like the idea of reading PDFs on my MBP, so I've been considering a full-sized (12.9" of larger, which is the size of a US Letter sheet of paper) tablet. I'd like to be able to annotate the PDFs, and search them. I used to use Goodreader on an iPad, but reading on the smaller-sized iPad feels straining. One option is the new "iPad Pro", but the dang thing is $1200 if you include a stylus! That seems like a lot if you just want to have easy access to your papers and books. Sony's DPT RP1 is another option, but it seems like it's not well supported. Anyone have any suggestions? Good battery life, and a large and readable screen are all I need. Thanks for your time. 1 comments on Hacker News.
