To me, it's debatable whether switching from hardcopy books to ebooks is a net
environmental plus. However, living down here in Ecuador makes it a real pain
in the butt to get hardcopies of technical books, especially in English. So
far, I've been reading PDFs on my laptop, but the screen is too far from my
face to really take advantage of its resolution. So, I'm considering either an
iPad or some sort of Android tablet. A smaller form factor like Kindle Fire or
Nexus 7 would be fine for material that can be reformatted on the fly, but I
really prefer pre-formatted PDF ebooks. I'm afraid that a seven inch screen
would be too small for most PDF ebooks. Does anyone here use a tablet to read
PDFs? I'd appreciate hearing of your experiences.
