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 absolutely and utterly swear by my reMarkable 2.

Large enough to display pdf's without having to scale down (which always messes up the page readability), can take notes right on the pages, even in multiple layers if I want, can draw on top, include overlays, export my notes as text or even save them within the pdf itself, etc. etc. etc.

I didn't even know about that thing.

It looks pretty great on paper.

I've had it for about a year now and it's just plain awesome. I use it every day.
