With those larger readers, there are glass screens and plastic screens, amongst several other options, worth considering which ones are most durable, I think. However, most of my work was done on the device- i.e. I always found connectivity stuff awkward. Problem: I don't know about the syncing scenario. I write small, it was accurate enough (though far from perfect) highlighting etc. With my onyx I thought the annotation capability was good. There's also Remarkable, but that's less customized for PDF reading. I think the 10.3' readers - Sony Dpt-CP1 (which is on sale), and Onyx Boox Note Note Pro / Note 2 are large enough.Īfter that you've got the big boys, 13.3' - bigger is better, but less convenient to carry. Onyx's cropping software is good - gets rid of white edges. With a screen that size there was no scrolling left/right required for standard academic texts (psych). I used an Onyx m96 (9.7') for a similar scenario as you - studying/working uni. Never used an e-reader before, so I can't really suggest a model that I like to make comparisons. Thank you everyone! I tried and browse on the internet but I only found information from several years ago and I guess (and hope) situation is different now. possibility to highlight and take notes and sync annotations on a Mac.

Budget is 400-500€ I'd say, but generally not the biggest issue. Storage space doesn't need to be huge, as I can save the articles on my computer and just bring the e-reader with me when I travel. Internet connection preferably but not necessary. Screen size must be comfortable enough to read articles (mostly pdfs) without scrolling left and right. I need an e-reader (not a tablet, e-ink, no backlighting) where I can underline texts and make annotations and sync notes in another file on my computer (Mac), so maybe something with a keyboard, or touch screen with a pen. I am a PhD student and I need to avoid printing so many articles, because it's simply not good for the environment and I have so much paper everywhere.
