I actually prefer ebook for both - including for studying. If the book I want to study requires larger screen, I prefer notebook. I never wrote into books, if I am taking notes it is on paper and sometimes electronically (with keyboard).

For comparing tables, I prefer laptop.

Really?? What ereader do you use? How are you taking notes (that you would be able to retrieve later in a reasonable manner), using the index, etc? I've wanted for years to switch to electronic books for nonfiction that I want to learn from, but software for reading feels so bad for this purpose.

    Fbreader, nothing special.

    It has bookmarks I occasionally use.

    I write actual notes either with pen&paper or keyboard into a file on laptop. Retrieval is via ctrl+f or looking at the paper.

  • My Boox Note Air 3 (non-Color version) runs android, and allows for scribbling on pdf's for notes.
