Dimitris Nakos, MScI've ended up reading a textbook ("Essential readings in #biosemiotics) on kindle, for reason of accessibility and money (damn textbooks are so expensive :@ !)... It feels absolutely horrible, instead of exciting and scientific-/study-ish
German Vidal@nakdim Same here. At the end of the day, I only use my kindle to read novels. For scientific textbooks or papers, I very much prefer a PDF copy and a tablet (iPad pro these days). In particular, I use PDF expert and Dropbox to sync my notes.
@the_heruman I wish I had an iPad or something much bigger. Ideally literal paper, but alas...
Chris@nakdim I’ve read a huge percentage of books on Kindle since the late 00s. The experience of doing “serious” reading on it is a big bummer. It should be pretty easy to ensure pagination matches some dead-tree version for easy citation. That seems to be never true. I bought a hardback copy of Karen Ng’s book after citing incorrect pages numbers from the Kindle edition (which I bought also!) in a short paper for grad school. :-/
