Hi there!
I am looking to buy a tablet. I can use some advice for that, as I am novice to the field.
My use will mainly be reading books in pdf format, underlining & keeping notes both in the pdf itself as well as in separate text files. I am a computer engineer and I read lots of technical books, mainly on programming. I keep notes in text files. I currently do it at my desk and would like to be able to effectively do it when on public transportation, or simply lying in my back yard.
Other uses will be browsing, videos/films watching, musing, etc. I already do these in my android phone (Samsung S3 Galaxy), so I guess it won't be an issue on any android device.
I think, the optimal size will be a display of 8-9 inches.
A stylus could be really valuable to optimise the noting process. Do I need to buy a tablet that comes with a stylus, or can I simply buy a stylus separately? Is there a difference in precision? Do you recommend an app to use with the stylus?
I am already using Acrobat reader to read novels in my Samsung S3, but I do not do major noting there, only a few unknown words. For editing my note text files in Android, I need a simple text editor. I have used Jota+ in my phone for simple tasks. Any editor recommendations?
I appreciate your comments in general, as it is all a bit unclear to me.
Thank you!
