eReader advice
I'm considering getting an e-reader, but I don't know if it's a practical purchase for my situation.
I take transit to and from work, approximately 2h total every weekday. Sometimes, I read on my smartphone, using apps like Kindle, Kobo, or iBooks or other offline reading apps like Pocket.
I like the idea of e-readers because of the ink format and the long life between charges. However, I read fast and on the few that I've tested out in-store (Kobo, Nook, Sony, etc) there is a noticeable lag when "flipping pages", which I have to do a few times a minute. If I was actually using it, I think it would drive me crazy. Also, I like to load up pdf books, not necessarily the native format that the eReaders use.
Anybody have recommendations or experiences to share? do newer ereaders have less lag?
should I bother with this at all, since my phone can sort of do the same thing already?
