This is a very helpful discussion. I just started an online MSW program, and have decided to use both regular books and one ebook this semester to see which works better for me. There is a tremendous amount of supplemental reading outside of the assigned books, so I am currently reading them on my computer.
However, I don't really want to have to be tied to my computer, so am considering an iPad or a Kindle paperwhite.
Any input on basic e-reader vs tablet would be great...if I get a tablet, it may as well be an iPad since I have a mac and an iPhone, for the ease of integrating them. But it's quite expensive!
