How do people here like to read pdfs? It doesn't work on my ebook reader and I never actually read anything long-form on a computer screen, even when I think I will. Someone below mentioned using a service to print and bind into a book. Anyone have a better workflow for this kind of thing?


I bought an iPad specifically for reading PDFs. It does get used for other things too, but the primary driver was PDFs. Most tablets seem to be optimised for horizontal video content, which makes then too narrow for A4 PDF, whereas the 4:3 of the iPad is perfect.


I purchased a Supernote for this very reason. Not cheap, but I (unfortunately) read a lot of PDFs.


And it works well for it? I have a Remarkable, but never felt like it worked that well with pdfs.


Some software has PDF reflow, like koreader.
